Judge Considering Ban on Using Fire Retardant to Fight Wildfires

Environmentalists in Montana are suing the US Forest Service over the use of aerial fire retardant, claiming it pollutes waterways.
The Forest Service admits retardant has polluted streams over 200 times in the last 10 years.
The government argues an outright ban on retardant would prevent its use to combat wildfires.
A federal judge will decide whether to limit or ban the use of fire retardant after a hearing on Monday.
