It looks bad, but grinding sparks aren't gonna hurt those tanks. Let's just hope the valves are off so the hoses aren't charged.

Over the years I have seen more fires started by the sparks from grinding than the sparks from welding. They are more concentrated plus they are getting fead oxygen from the spinning wheel. Always pay attention to where your sparks are headed and when possible aim them towards the ground. Good idea to wear a breathing mask also.

I set my own pants on fire with grinding sparks one time.

A friend found out that hot grinding sparks can travel 33 feet and land into a parts cleaner.
He also found out WHY you close the LID on them.....

He's just preforming a leak test. I've put fires out at leaking acetylene valve a few times.

I set the leg of my polyester coveralls on fire cutting some pallet racking with one of those chainsaw cutting wheels. Put it out with my hand. Bad mistake! Polyester = plastic. So then I had molten plastic stuck to my hand. Fortunately it cooled quickly and my hand was burned but not severely

While using my cutting torch I dropped a blob of molten steel onto one of my Sketcher shoes, which promptly melted through and onto one of my toes. Talk about the hot foot.
Colorful language ensued.

I was the fixing clamp when my dad did the same thing. I'm standing there holding the wing on the log splitter when all of a sudden he jumps up and starts dancing around. Pulled his sneaker of and showed off the crater that was melted into the top of his foot.
