As Geoff said the only real danger is if you try to add water to a hot dry boiler. The only Boiler I had go dry under gas was a D48 Wilesco one. It went dry just at the end of a run, was put on the table to cool down (it was not equipped with a water pump), when It was cool I added more water and noticed the water level in the sight glass was decreasing and there was water in the bottom of the boat. On inspection I found that the seam on one end cap was leaking. I resoldered it with silver bearing solder (5% silver) pressure tested it to 60psig. and it was fine
