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.
