The house next to ours burned down. It had a lot of asbestos in it. We were unable to effect repairs to our house until the house, including the asbestos was cleared. This was because our tradies couldn't get safe access, and much of the asbestos had ended up on our side. The pink colour is caused by a dyed glue that is sprayed to bind particles together and hopefully prevent the small asbestos fibres floating around.
