October 9, 2007: Smoke Break!

We had a minor smoke-related incident last Friday. A ballast in one of the lights burned out, smoldering some nearby plastic. No real damage to anything, but it did clear the building for a half-hour or so.

Major kudos to the Austin Fire Department, especially the guys of Station 35. While it wasn't a serious incident this time, they treated it professionally and, equally importantly, within minutes.

While I didn't get a chance to chat with the crew, I believe they're the same guys who helped us out back in 2005.
