A “suspicious substance” caused a ruckus at an Internal Revenue Service outpost in Ogden, Utah, on Monday, and hazardous materials crews and the FBI were called in. Later, an official said the substance was found to pose no danger, and federal agents reported that medical emergencies in the building were not related to the material that caused the alarm.

OGDEN, Utah – An official with the U.S. Postal Inspection Service says a suspicious substance found at an IRS building in Ogden, Utah, is not hazardous.

Parts of the building were evacuated.
