Lab Fire


While visiting relatives in Minnesota, I learned that a fire broke out in my research lab about 12:30 AM on October 29, 2008!
Ceiling sprinklers contained most of the fire, but the water running all night managed to flood one wing of the research building 2nd floor, and water leaked through fixtures onto the 1st floor, and even into the basement, flooding other labs and offices!
