LA California Wildfire Day 7: Newsom Faces Urgent Battle As Dangerous, Winds Threaten To Spread Fire

Opponents argue his leadership has been marked by a series of failures, with increased living costs, rising crime, and inadequate wildfire management. The recall effort, spearheaded by Randy Economy of "Saving California," aims to gather 1.3 million signatures in five months. Despite the political storm, Newsom remains focused on firefighting efforts and recovery, dismissing the recall attempt as politically motivated. #CaliforniaRecall #GavinNewsom #WildfireCrisis #CaliforniaPolitics #LosAngelesWildfires #NewsomUnderFire #RecallNewsom #PoliticalBacklash #SavingCalifornia #CaliforniaFires #FireResponse #WildfireMismanagement #GovernorNewsom #CaliforniaLeadership #RecallingNewsom #FiresAndPolitics #CaliforniaWildfires #PublicOutrage #NewsomRecall #RecallMovement #PoliticalBattle Also Read Explained: Why LA's Air Quality Beats Delhi-NCR Despite Wildfires :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/explained-why-la-s-air-quality-beats-delhi-ncr-despite-wildfires-4040373.html?ref=DMDesc Pacific Palisades Hit Hard: Los Angeles Wildfires Consume Over 36,000 Acres :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pacific-palisades-hit-hard-los-angeles-wildfires-consume-over-36-000-acres-011-4039711.html?ref=DMDesc Wildfires in LA Could Result in $57 Billion Damage, Report Calls It One of the Worst US Disasters :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/wildfires-in-la-could-result-in-57-billion-damage-report-calls-it-one-of-the-worst-us-disasters-011-4038029.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.346~GR.125~

California Wildfires Day 7: What is Pink Powder? How Phos-Check Fighting LA Pacific Palicades Fire?

Bright pink powder blanketing Los Angeles has caught the attention of many as fire retardant Phos-Chek is dropped by air tankers to control wildfires. This chemical barrier prevents flames from spreading by coating vegetation and flammable surfaces, cutting off oxygen. While effective, environmental experts raise concerns over its impact on ecosystems and human health. Phos-Chek, though highly useful, has led to pollution, wildlife harm, and legal disputes. Its increasing use reflects the growing challenge of combating wildfires in a changing climate. #WildfireControl #PhosChek #LAWildfires #FireRetardant #EnvironmentalImpact #Firefighting #ClimateChange #PhosChekFireRetardant #WildfireFighting #CaliforniaFires #FirePrevention #PinkPowder #FirefightingTools #FireSafety #WildlifeProtection #FireScience #EcoImpact #PollutionConcerns #AirTankers #ChemicalRetardants #FireManagement ~HT.318~ED.102~GR.125~
