Have they figured out / said what it was?  Early reports were "it doesn't taste like drinking water".

My guess is a malfunction in the liquid cooling vest, since it uses water tubes sewn onto the garment, and since it's a full-body garment. That's the only place I could think that much water would come from.



(Wish we had that with firefighting in my area. Stupid southern summers!)
