No One Transported To Hospital

POSTED: 2:30 pm CDT April 12, 2006

A toy car caused a hazardous materials scare at the Spring post office Wednesday afternoon, KPRC Local 2 reported.

The Spring Volunteer Fire Department and Harris County Hazmat team were called to the post office on Spring Cypress at Interstate 45 at about 1:15 p.m. after postal workers complained of eye irritation from a suspicious package.

An area of the post office was roped off, but no one was evacuated.

Fire officials said fuel in the toy car caused the eye irritation.

The postal workers were checked out at the scene and did not need to go to the hospital.
