That chemical fire was an education to watch. It confused even the trained firefighters. It was deceptive because at first it looked like it was confined to the building and the nearby concrete apron, then the chemicals poured SLOWLY but steadily across the concrete. And then before you know it, it's a raging inferno and they lost a whole fire truck. I'm not gonna' criticize the firefighters, because this morning they are probably sitting around and feeling terrible that they lost a $750K truck. That hurts. It just goes to show how tricky fires can be.

Did anyone notice how thick that black smoke was? Very nasty. This reminds me that I need to get my own a** moving and buy a personal hood for smoke protection. You don't want to be breathing stuff like that - probably all kinds of chemical contamination.
