Those fears turned out to be unfounded. Kiryas Joel firefighters are still checking the vacated Riminev Court boys' school, but no trace of a gas leak has been found, according to the state police and Moses Witriol, the village's public safety director.
Witriol said the two boys — one of whom had strep throat — were taken to a doctor in Kiryas Joel. Stifling heat in the room where the boys were gathered is suspected to have played a role in the episode.
The initial report — which came a little after 9 a.m. — of "a large gas leak" with four or five children down sparked a massive emergency response. Ambulances, the personal vehicles of emergency medical technicians and Kiryas Joel fire trucks lined the blocked-off street.
