Air Dropped Fire Retardant and Paint Spheres
                This is from a home impacted by a near approach of the
                  Etiwanda fire. The Etiwanda fire was typical of a Southern
                  California Chaparral fire. When only transmitted light is used the paint spheres
                  cannot be distinguised from the spheres of fire retardant. This is
                  from an environmental tapelift collected in the attic of this home.
