Subject: o2 cook-off
To: techdiver@aquanaut.com
gents, 
i recently heard ( 06.05) that a o2 accident occured in Calif.
It was on the news (so i am told), that a fireman was diving "nitrox" and b/4 
he entered the water, his 1st stage regulator "caught fire" and burned him on 
his back( 3rd degree) and burned most of the rear portion of hs wet suit. 
Seems the reg he had was (as I am told) an ATOMIC TI. model. 
also, it seems that a shop or 2 (in the area) has QUIT pumping nitrox.
this, (to the best of my knowledge) happened in lower ca, around   s/d-la 
area.
Is there any truth to this?

jim
