A hospital security officer in Columbus, Ohio, helped evacuate patients and staff members after detecting a gas leak, according to an article on the Campus Safety website.
The guard helped around 30 people exit the Nationwide Children’s Hospital Primary Care Center just before a massive gas explosion occurred at a shopping center across the street.
The guard was at his desk when he first smelled gas. He then saw construction workers running away from their work site.
He informed the hospital employees and patients of the gas leak and herded them through the facility's back door.
