Blue Island, IL— Chemical fumes seeped through a middle school, sickening 30 people on Thursday, March 17, 2011. The hazardous materials alarm was sounded at Paul Revere Intermediate School, located at 12331 Gregory St. in Blue Island around noon, reported CBS Chicago.
According to officials, the chemicals were accidentally mixed in a utility closet at the middle school, which then made its way through the ventilation system and subsequently made people sick.

Responding emergency medical crews transported 30 people, including 22 students and 8 children, to local hospitals after becoming sickened from the fumes.
