Fire drives evacuation at KU student union
Lawrence Kan AP reports a chemical-filled canister ignited in the second-floor Maintenance shop at the University of Kansas student union causing the evacuation of more than a thousand people. Acetylene gas leaked from the canister and burned for nearly two hours before fire crews let the flame burn out. One maintenance worker suffered a burned hand while closing the valve, and the building sustained no damage.
