Three hospitalized after Somers boiler explosion

SOMERS, N.Y. - A boiler explosion in Somers sent three people to the hospital with burns and cuts early Thursday, Jan. 2.

The incident occurred at a home on Carina Drive in the Dean’s Bridge section of town.

Two residents and a house guest were in the basement investigating a strange noise when the blast occurred.

Their injuries were non-life-threatening, and damage was restricted to the basement.
