A local meth lab exploded this morning, burning a guy over 40% of his body. He's in critical condition, and the following is one paragraph from the story in the paper:
Corcoran said the victim was stripping lithium from batteries when the mishap occurred. Corcoran said the lithium heats with air contact and can ignite when it contacts moisture. The man was using Coleman fuel to keep the lithium cool during the process, Corcoran said.
