The initial reports are that there was an issue with a boiler that resulted in the explosion around the 17th or 18th floor. <\/p>\n<p>Multiple people have been reported injured. The fire department believes everyone who was injured were construction workers, as the building is a Holiday Inn that is currently under construction and not yet open to the public.
