Rapid City Fire

A house caught on fire yesterday afternoon in Rapid City, South Dakota as a direct result of one of the residents inhaling paint fumes. The fumes ignited and both he and his visitor were sent to the hospital with lung issues and minor burns. Although ACE is primarily concerned with the bodily harm involved with abusing inhalants, this provides an example of other risks involved. Many inhalants are flammable and should not be used around open flames. Luckily, it appears that the injuries were minimal.
