Description
Defendant was engaged in the manufacture of paint and varnish in a Yonkers residential area. Adjoining its plant was an open yard, unfenced on one side. On the outer wall of the plant facing the yard were a number of fill pipes available to tank trucks supplying the plant with fluids for paint and varnish manufacture. Dripping of the fluid from some of these pipes was caught in cans placed by defendant on the ground. The fluid which drained into these cans was a form of paint solvent. It was white in appearance, looked like water, but was described by a chemist as ""a flammable liquid commonly known as mineral spirits"" with a flash point at 103 degrees Fahrenheit and both ""combustible"" and ""explosive"". Since the yard was not entirely enclosed, and was in a residential area, children played there and the defendant had knowledge they played there.
