"Initial reports (are) of a `safe' in a chemistry class room which has not been opened in years, containing unknown substances that appear to have been jostled during the earthquake and a staff member was concerned," an LAFD statement said.

"The first engine on scene used a gas meter and did not detect any hazards. There are no patients with any medical complaints," the LAFD statement said.

After completing their investigation, the hazmat team "determined there are no hazards present," the LAFD said in a statement early Thursday afternoon.
