Firefighters Thursday were sent to a school in Woodland Hills Thursday on a “chemical investigation” involving a possible problem involving unknown substances in a chemistry classroom.

A hazardous-materials team was sent to the 23700 block of West Califa Street about 11 a.m., according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.

The site is the campus of Hale Charter Academy, according to Fox11.

“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.

The firefighters remained on scene early Thursday afternoon, the LAFD reported.
