Pipe Bursts At Good Samaritan Hospital: Water Floods Hallway

Hundreds of gallons of water flooded a hallway at Good Samaritan Hospital late Monday night. A hospital spokesperson told Newscenter Seven that a two inch water pipe burst in a first floor hallway. The hallway is in the hospital's Seton tower and in a section currently under construction.

Dayton firefighters say hundreds of gallons of water headed toward the emergency room and also threatened to flood into some basement medical areas. They worked quickly with hospital staff to get the water and electricity turned off in the affected section of the building. They say that process took about thirty minutes.
