Because it was a paint and rogue shop, they were screened for blood gases do to exposure to the chemicals in the shop. One of the MFD officers first on scene said the smoke and flames were all different colors at time. One of the Milford firefighters also said that the company make coloring for fireworks and Disney was one of their biggest customers. This building was literally three buildings down to the rear of Milford Fire HQ.

Blood Gas??? Oh God!The thought of that hurts!!! I've had that done and It is one of the most painful tsts I've EVER gone through! It's worse than the nerve test they do for Carpal Tunnel!!!

I do hope that everbody is ok, and will have no repurcussions later on.
