Nineteen students and employees at Park City High School have reported feeling ill — and one of them has been taken to a hospital — after exposure to an unknown chemical at the school, police and fire officials said Monday.
A gas leak was reported at about 1:55 p.m. Monday, about 10 minutes after classes were dismissed at the school, said Tricia Hazelrigg, spokeswoman for the Park City Fire District.
Crews tested for carbon monoxide and explosives — but got no positive readings, Hazelrigg said. Medics arrived to find several students and employees with “respiratory issues,” said Park City Police Capt.
