A hazardous material incident shut down Boulder Community Hospital’s emergency room for much of Saturday.
Firefighters were called to the hospital at 7:23 a.m. by a nurse concerned about an odor. Crews determined the source was a CT scanner that had sprung a leak in a coolant line. The substance was not toxic, and no patients were in the area at the time. But because of the strong odor, the emergency room temporarily stopped accepting ambulances or walk-in patients. Normal business resumed at 2:30 p.m.
