I was explaining this to someone the other day and was called a liar for my efforts.

I'm glad that Smithsonian has addressed this.

always love when someone has already done the hard work for you!

And it's hard to do it as well as the Smithsonian, as they've put out first quality content for generations!

I’ve been wondering too. I hope the negative effects aren’t too dire. Thank you for the link

Thank you for posting this. I had actually also wondered about this the other day and forgot to look it up.

I’m sure using sea water for fire fighting isn’t the best, but when it’s the only thing you have, you have to go with it. Better than letting it continue to burn!
