Seniors allowed back in center after leak

WAYNE Safety inspectors gave residents at the assisted-living facility the all-clear to return Tuesday afternoon.

Officials say a boiler failed to shut down Monday night and overheated, releasing released carbon monoxide and triggering alarms.

Care One spokesman Tim Hodges said all 110 patients, who were evacuated to other facilities overnight, would be back home by Tuesday evening.

Detective Capt. Paul Ireland of the Wayne Police Department said one of the facility's three boilers is still out of service but is being repaired.

There were no reports of injuries.
