Hawaii Island police officers and Hawaii County Fire Department personnel responded to Waiakea Intermediate School at 1:08 p.m. today for a reported hazardous odor that resulted in at least one person complaining of dizziness.
After a few minutes of searching the area for the source, it was concluded by the fire department’s hazardous material specialists that the origin of the smell more than likely originated off-site and was delivered by the wind, according to the Hawaii Police Department. The smell had dissipated in a few minutes and left no apparent lingering effects or odor. An all-clear for students and faculty was given at approximately 1:53 p.m.
The upper parking lot area, which had initially been closed off due to the checks, has reopened for normal student pickup.
