The majority of flame retardant being used to tackling California's wildfires is manufactured by California-based Perimeter Solutions in Rancho Cucamonga and is a phosphorus produced called Phos-Chek. Employees at the factory are 24 hours to keep up with current urgent demand and, if necessary, could work 24/7 to grow supply, said Perimeter Solutions consultant George Roby. Recent California wildfires have allowed the company to calculate likely demand for the flame retardant, and the company said It has enough supplies of the raw materials to manufacture the product, along with access to transport vehicles as needed, Roby said.
