Patients and staff at Baylor Scott & White Emergency Center in Forney, Texas, were cleared from the building because of a gas leak in the sewer line, according to an article on the Dallas News website.
Two patients and staff were cleared from the building after an initial call to emergency services. The gas, identified as hydrogen sulfide, was traced to a sewer line.
No injuries were reported, though several reported headaches and felt nauseated. The two patients were taken to another hospital. Baylor Scott & White reopened the next day.
The Forney Fire Department, Dallas Fire-Rescue, Kaufman County Office of Emergency Management and CareFlite were called to the scene.
