TROY, N.Y. - More than a dozen firefighters are recovering after they  
were exposed to smoke and chemicals after a fire broke out inside a  
laboratory at an Albany-area college.
No one was seriously injured but Troy Fire Department officials say 15  
firefighters were checked out at a hospital after Monday evening's  
blaze in a chemical lab at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
Fire Chief Tom Garrett says the fire broke out about 6:20 p.m. on the  
third floor of a lab in a science building. He says a student was  
working alone and accidentally ignited the fire while conducting an  
experiment.
RPI officials say the student suffered burns to her hands and was  
treated at Troy hospital. The college's public safety department is  
conducting an investigation.
