Update… Jamestown (CSi-AP)  The Jamestown City Fire Department was called out at 2:51 p.m., Tuesday, to a report of a chemical spill of flammable Magnesium powder, at the high school science lab, in Gackle.

The Fargo HazMat team was also called to the scene.

Logan County Emergency Manager, Daniel Schwartz says the Gackle-Streeter Public School was evacuated, after the spill occurred in a closet in the science lab.  The closet was closed after the spill, as the Fargo HazMat team arrived at the school shortly after 5-p.m.

A teacher and student reported hearing a “popping” sound in a storage cabinet.

Schwartz says the evacuation was necessary, as there was a risk of explosion if the powder would have come in contact with moisture or a heat source. School officials also shut down mechanical and electrical systems as a precaution.

Jamestown City Fire Chief, Jim Reuther says, Jamestown served as backup, as the Fargo team entered,  retrieved, and sealed the originally  glass bottled magnesium, in a can,  and removed  it from the school, finishing just after 5:30-p.m..

Reuther estimated the bottle, which was discovered, broken had under a half pint.

Logan County Sheriff Andrew Bartholomaus reports no injuries.

Classes at Gackle-Streeter will be on the regular schedule, Wednesday.
