La Cañada Flintridge high school building evacuated after reports of "chemical smell"

A building on the La Cañada High School campus was evacuated Friday afternoon after "a chemical smell" was reported.

Los Angeles County Fire Department crews responded to the La Cañada Flintridge school around noon and were evaluating the third floor of the affected building.

The rest of the student body sheltered in place as two patients were evaluated for inhalation, according to the LACoFD. A La Cañada Unified School District spokesperson said all students and staff were safe during the incident. 

The district added that crews found unidentified chemicals in two locations while clearing the campus. 

"As of this evening, the campus has been cleared for safe reentry, and students may return this weekend to collect personal items during designated times," the district wrote. "The campus will reopen for regular instruction on Monday, December 15. The investigation remains active and is being led by law enforcement."
