What is Pink Liquid?
American firefighters are using a pink liquid to douse fires in California forests. This liquid is also known as ‘Phos-Chek’. Let us tell you that it is made of ammonium phosphate, which remains effective for a long time. The pink color is specially added to Phos-Chek so that firefighters can see it easily.
How does it work?
Let us tell you that pink liquid is sprayed on fire-resistant roads. This is a mixture of water, salt (chemicals), and sulfur. It contains a solution containing ammonium phosphate. Due to which it forms a layer on the trees, this layer stops the supply of oxygen and slows down the spread of fire. As a result, the spread of fire is stopped to a large extent. In many cases, it also extinguishes the fire.
