Having done my share of general contracting in my younger days, I’m fully familiar with silt fencing. And yes, when we did refurbs on older properties (talk about challenging work!) we had to seal off the areas that contained asbestos and hire specialists to work there - but that was INDOORS.

However, the purpose of silt fencing is to prevent runoff of silt and sand into local drainage systems, as in waterborne runoff. Putting up a silt fence outdoors doesn’t do any good for airborne asbestos, and if they wanted to prevent water runoff, then the standard 2 foot (max) height of a silt fence would work fine.

...so, why, again is this fence being built?

A few thinks come to mind, Spoiled meat, biologicals, run-off, in place forensic identification inflatable labs... privacy as charred cadavers of all ages are removed. It’s not a crime scene, but maybe it should be. What local lab could handle that sizable workload? I imagine it’s a privacy issue and the desire to elimate outsiders and thrillseekers.from recording the gruesome and macabre.

Aftermaths are without a doubt terribly blunt visually and foul.

The left wants to do a quick clean up then lockdown any discussion about cause. They learned after 9-11 to control the narrative. They can’t allow the land to become a memorial. The internet media needs to be blocked out until everyone is fed the correct narrative and propaganda of the left.

Sure, 2,000 people just burned to death but we have to worry because there might be asbestos - which is non-flammable and was used in WWII ships to prevent them from burning. Uh-huh, got it, thanks MSM for the update.

Maybe it is a ‘mask’ for Maui.

To catch the particles.
