Woke up to hear the news that Chemtool in Rockton, IL was on fire. Went out to my building in Rockford and saw the smoke 65 miles away where I live! Sad day, I use a lot of Chemtool products, and probably most of you do to. Luckily everyone got out ok, but the building is a total loss as they didn't want to put water on it as it is very close to the Rock River and didn't want chemicals leaking into the river.
The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

Keep it out of the river butt let it poison the air is fine?
I am not causing global warming, I am just trying to hold off a impending Ice Age!

You'd figure the building would be fire sprinklered by code? Fire so big it could not keep up? The first squad that got there said it was already through the roof, so yes, overpowered the sprinklers I'm sure...
