Water added to overheated boilers is a common cause of boiler explosions.
Low water and overheating is a dangerous combination. If you have any leakage, stop heating as you may run low on water.

It is essential that you ensure that areas not covered in water are prevented from overheating. You may have a boiler temp of ~300 and have the steam chamber exposed to >600. That is a recipe for a nasty accident. Water splashed on the overheated metal will flash the steam and cause an explosion.
