CHICAGO (STNG) -- Students at a West Side school were evacuated Thursday morning after a smell of gas prompted a HazMat response.
A Level 1 HazMat was called about 11 a.m. at the Plato School, 5549 W. Harrison St., according to Fire Media Affairs spokesman Richard Rosado.
Crews were called to the school after a smell of gas was reported in the basement.
The HazMat was secured at 11:21 a.m., Rosado said.
All children were evacuated as a precaution but were expected to be let back into the school about 11:45 a.m., Rosado said.
The Assumption Greek Orthodox Church is listed at the address, according to a Web directory.
