I don't know the current formula, but we just called it 'pink baby shit' back in the late 70s. Getting painted with it was unpleasant and it stank, but it wasn't lethal or or even dangerous.
Anybody know what that shit actually is ?
I realize that it's a fire retardant/suppressant but I've always wondered exactly what the stuff is. Can they dump it right on top of endangered fire fighters? Or would that kill 'em (just slower) ?

I'm pretty sure that 'dead fish' figured prominently in the mix.Likely to be more borate in it back in the '70's.

A mere matter of perspective: to those on the sidelines they were "Borate Bombers" but to those on the fire line they were dropping "Pink Baby Shit" bombers.We used to call the planes "borax bombers".
