Acid test for firefighters at BC

The Boston Fire Department reports a sulfuric-acid spill at the Boston College science building left one professor with "very minor burns" around 6:20 p.m.

The department's hazmat team responded to the spill at 2609 Beacon St. to evaluate and clean up the spill, of about a quart of the H₂SO₄.

In May, firefighters evacuated two BC buildings and a few nearby houses as a precaution during a possible chlorine spill.
