Dayton Children’s Hospital partially evacuated during boiler trouble

A malfunction of the fill valve in the boiler caused excess steam to build up


The Dayton (Ohio) Children’s Hospital was partially evacuated after a malfunction of the fill valve in a boiler caused excess steam to build up, according to an article on the WHIO website.

Staff took 52 children from inpatient rooms to another section of the hospital and three patients from the emergency department moved to a building across the street.

The fire department determined there was no risk. Dayton Children’s facilities crews returned the boiler to full operation, with a minor repair.

Patients and families were returned to their rooms shortly thereafter.
