My God, how stupid are you people assuming this?

I'd like to hear from the firefighters here.

Name the school.

It didn’t happen.

+1. And what information do you think the unnamed school is hiding from you, OP? The firefighters whose job it is to make sure people are safe felt it was and let the kids back in the school.

In addition to the above comment about cannabis or snub, it could have been a gas cooking appliance or science lab valve that was left open. If firefighters deemed the scene safe, I’d trust that it was indeed safe.

I’m just going to repeat my earlier comment and add that OP, you need to trust that the on-scene firefighters were not idiots.

A responding fire department is not going to mess around or be sent off with hand-waving after a report of a possible gas leak, much less one at a school. If they left quickly and no one even called the gas company, there is not a concern. Yes, the school should probably have provided more transparent communication to avoid exactly this kind of parental Chicken Little-ing, however.

There was an end of day incident at Field in May where the kids were evacuated. Is that what you're talking about? It was an odor that turned out to be nothing.

I will add on and say the school never sent anything out about it which I thought was a little odd. If you picked up your kid you saw there was something going on at pickup. A simple "First Responders were on scene to investigate an odor, and students were evacuated, but all is safe and the building was cleared" would have been nice.
