Fire Retardant Slurry
Having spent a couple years as a Hotshot, and having been on the receiving end of a couple slurry drops, I can tell you the only immediate danger from it is getting hit directly in a low-altitude drop. I've seen slurry drops snap thigh-thick tree trunks.
As far as other dangers, I can't say. But since the planes can't land with undropped slurry, they have to drop it before they return to base. And farmers living near regular slurry drop bases specifically request that the planes drop their unused slurry on particular fields. It is mostly fertilizer, after all.On Umbra on fire-fighting chemicals posted 3 years, 3 months ago 1 Response
The Drain Brain
Another method of maintaining clog-free drains is to periodically pour a pot of boiling water down the drain. You can even use recycled water; everytime I make spaghetti I pick a different drain and after draining the pasta I pour the water down. The water is hot enough to kill most of the bacterial mats that hold the clogs together.On Umbra on unclogging without chemicals posted 4 years, 6 months ago 9 Responses
