The Science Behind Slurry
Description
Fire retardant used to smother fires—also called slurry—is a mixture of water, fertilizer and chemicals. It’s dropped from planes and is usually a bright red color, so air crews can track what they’ve used. But this powerful way to help slow down fires also comes with a big price tag and some environmental concerns.
