Ash from a nearby Industrial Fire
This is ash and char from a Maria fire along with debris
from the local industrial environment. Much of the material
that burned was a fiberglass composite. The resin had burned off of much of the
composite so glass fiber was common in the downwind direction from
this fire. This glass fiber is coated with ash and soot from the fire. Agglomerated
soot particles (the black fuzzy edged particles) are another
major component in this assemblage from the fire. This is a close-up of the previous
image.
