Explosion at UW-Madison chemistry building

January 30, 2012 By WRN Contributor

A scare this morning on the UW-Madison campus. Around 9:30 am there were reports of an explosion at the chemistry building. There was, but on the damage scale, it was rather small.

A staffer received non-life threatening injuries after a lab experiment ignited and broke a glass container holding the chemicals. The injury was a cut from the glass.

No fire broke out and no evacuations were needed. In fact, the building remained open except for the lab where the explosion occurred.
