If any firefighter calls them bottles they owe a carton. They should be called cylinders. :)

Due to the heat a bunch of containers of a particular chemical had started to react. Missed the name but it started with an A. Channel 7 news said that crews went in with gas masks.... from what I saw it was BA.

I guess u saw it on the news..but it was CIBA the chemical company. A substance used in water purification had reacted and was smoking. Crews entered in full BA with full hazmat procedures and the DoE emergency response crews were there monitoring the atmosphere etc. And im guessing that techie owes a few cartons....im sure he said bottles... :lol:

I don't remember anyone on the forklifts or the radio saying bottles..

It certainly wasnt one of my boys, do you know what kind of a bollocking they'd get if they said 'bottle' :)

If you're keen to really know what happened, I can copy the incident report overview :)
