GREENSBORO, N.C. — Greensboro Fire Officials say a reported gas smell at Smith High School was coming from the chemistry lab. 

The fire department and HAZMAT team were called to the school Thursday afternoon, where they discovered an gas valve that was not properly shut in the chemistry lab. The valve was shut off and the windows and doors were opened to ventilate the school. 

Guilford County Schools said students were moved to a different part of the building while firefighters investigated. They say parents were informed of the situation, and classes were able to resume as normal.
