Man cooking urine causes evacuation [View all]
Not Florida. Massachusetts.
Urine, not chemicals, forced the evacuation of a dozen units at the Brandywine apartment complex Wednesday night.
Apartment officials called police about an odor coming from one of the 12 units Wednesday afternoon, Assistant Fire Chief Lindsey Stromgren said in an email.
When firefighters entered the apartment, they saw what appeared to be chemicals being mixed or cooked on the stove. The state Hazardous Materials Response team and bomb squad investigated after clearing the building.
But police said Thursday morning the "chemical" was actually distilled urine the tenant was using for medical reasons.

Medical reasons?
