"It's important to note that low levels of natural gas are not toxic," officials stated. "The odor of natural gas is added so individuals can detect even small natural gas leaks by odor." West Jordan Fire Department Chief Chris Trevino initially said that Jordan Hills Elementary had been evacuated due to the odd smell, though it was later confirmed that the school had just experienced a delayed start and was never evacuated.
