Students and staff at Woodrow Wilson High School spent part of Friday afternoon outside after a gas smell was reported in the building, but firefighters found no leak and cleared everyone to return before the school day ended.
Dallas Fire-Rescue was called to the Dallas ISD campus in the 100 block of South Glasgow Drive at about 3:15 p.m. on Oct. 2, FOX 4 reported, citing the fire department and the school. Firefighters confirmed an odor inside a classroom, and the school evacuated everyone as a precaution.
Crews shut off the gas to that room and notified Atmos Energy. Hazardous-materials units then checked the building. At 4:10 p.m. they determined there was no gas leak and let students and staff go back inside to finish the day.
The fire department said the smell came from a chemistry lab. Investigators believe a valve in the room may have been left on, according to the report.
No injuries were reported.
