Photo provided by Carmel Fire Department On Thursday, representatives from the Indiana Department of Homeland Security (IDHS) assisted fire officials in the investigation into Wednesday’s Carmel High School explosion. An IDHS spokesperson said, “At this point, it appears there was no boiler malfunction. Two boilers were impacted. Workers were doing routine service and a natural gas leak occurred, leading to an explosion during the reigniting process.”

Photos provided by Carmel Fire Department Fire officials said they want people to understand the magnitude of the incident, and how fortunate it is that it wasn’t worse.

Photos provided by Carmel Fire Department Carmel Fire Department officials did report there were approximately 100 people inside the building at the time of the explosion.

Photo provided by Carmel Fire Department Emergency personnel reported two people were injured in the incident, a school employee and a private contractor; however, names are not being released. 4 News Warm weather keeps Koteewi Slopes closed ... but not for long The REPORTER Operators of Koteewi Run Slopes say that unsea- sonably warm temperatures have hindered opening of the popular snow tubing facility.
