So I am hard at it

, sittin in the office doing a crossword puzzle when I hear this kinda loud whoosh sound right. I kinda lean over to look in the lab part of our office to see our nitric acid weigh out station fully ingulfed in flames

Im like shit, jump up grab a fire exstinguisher, and put out the flames. Keep in mind its concentrated nitric acid mixed with some acetone. Friggin fumes just about knocked me out. Luckily I had my resperator about 2 ft from where I was standing, and was able to put it on right away. Anyway I am having a real interesting night tonight, and figured I would share. Later T.
