L.A. turned into "Pink"..."Last Work" to stop a huge fire. [Now News]

The worst wildfire in the western U.S. city of Los Angeles has spread, increasing casualties and property damage.

In the midst of this, firefighting aircraft spraying 'pink liquid' on forest fire sites can also be seen.

The liquid, which colors the L.A. wildfire scene with "pink," is a fire delay called "Phos-Chek."

Fire delay agents are generally used to coat combustible areas such as plants to prevent oxygen from burning, and are used to spray before a fire.

It features a bright pink color to make it easier for firefighters to identify.

It consists of a mixture of chemicals, including ammonium polyphosphate, and is effective in slowing or suppressing the spread of flames as it adheres to materials longer than water.

Fire authorities used nine large planes and 20 helicopters to drop water at the scene of the L.A. wildfire to spray fire delay agents.

With strong winds delaying the fight, it has been reported that firefighters have decided to spray delay agents to buy time to put out the flames.

However, the fire delay system, as its name suggests, is only serving as a defense line to buy time for firefighting activities or prevent the fire line from expanding any further, making it difficult to extinguish the fire.

Fire authorities are struggling to extinguish the fire as strong winds are predicted amid the spread of wildfires.
