One of my worst nightmares almost happened today.

I let my helper put my torches in my van, and we drove 15 minutes to the next job. Got my tools and headed for the roof. When I was done about 30 minutes later I open the side door of my van and the strongest smell of acetylene hits me. I begin to freak out and open all my doors and start waving an air filter around to fan out my van.

I've never left a torch on and this is the first time it's happened, it scared the shit out of me. Thank god I don't smoke. Stay safe.

Edit: Not blaming my helper, I was frustrated with the compressor we were putting in, and wasn't being 100% focused. It's my responsibility to make sure everything is safe
