HFD has responded to an explosion on the 17th floor of a hotel under construction downtown about two hours ago. This was reported as a boiler explosion with five burn injuries. Since it's 91 degrees out today, it certainly wasn't heating the occupancy.

This building at Texas and Austin is a diagonal block east of the old Federal Custom House which houses the Houston MEPS (formerly AFEES) where, in 1967, Muhammad Ali refused his draft notice. Two years later Entropychaser got a draft physical there courtesy of his Baytown Draft Board.
