: I recently helped some friends move into their new
: house (built in the 40's). In their basement, above
: the boiler (hot water heating system) are about 6
: glass bulbs that are about 2/3 full of a clear liquid.
: The bulbs are sealed and hang from the floor joists
: in wire hangers. Does anybody have any idea what
: these are or if they are related to the heating system
: in any way?

These bulbs were used for fire protection at one time. They probably contain carbon tetrachloride. Please remove and dispose in a proper manner.
