The former Central Library in Belvoir Street Leicester city centre was evacuated today after a heating system broke, causing boiling water to flood into the basement.
Two fire crews from Eastern, one from Western and the aerial ladder from Central attended the incident after being called out at 3.50pm.
The crews isolated the electrics, identified the source of the leak in the basement and waited for a specialist heating firm to attend.
Firefighters left the scene at 6pm.
