City What Are All Those Fire Trucks Doing At the Science Center?
Posted by Jonah Spangenthal-Lee on Thu, Jul 2, 2009 at 9:39 AM
A bunch of HazMat trucks and emergency response vehicles outside of PacSci — did they blow up a lab or something?-Slogtipper Jacqui
No, Slogtipper Jacqui, they did not. According to Seattle Fire Department spokeswoman Helen Fitzpatrick, more than a dozen Seattle Fire Department units are on scene at the Pacific Science Center to deal with a chemical spill.
Fitzpatrick says 10 gallons of muriatic acid—which is used to clean pavement—was spilled inside a room at the center. No one was injured.

Jonah, this is one of the thing I love about Slog -

Very cool. Thanks for taking the time to check things out.
In a world were fewer and fewer media outlets bother to research and check things out, you guys once again prove that you're on the job. Bravo. Keep up the great work.
