There have been two separate incidents involving malfunctioning boilers that forced authorities to close their respective school zones. One involved an elementary school where 3 adults were injured. The other happened in a dorm at Murray State University. While no serious injuries occurred, these were the proper procedures to handle a potential boiler hazard.
When it comes to boiler safety, it is always best to err on the side of caution. In the case of the boiler at the dorm, a bad seal was the cause for evacuation. Originally, it was thought that a separate electrical problem was to blame. The issue at the elementary school was described as a boiler explosion. That sounds very frightening and sent one staff member to the hospital.
