Someone thought it would be funny to unleash a can of bear spray in the hallway at lunch one day. The entire school was evacuated to the football field in the rain. No one of authority knew it was bear spray, and so we were not allowed to leave the football field until they could determine the threat level of the biochemical weaponry unleashed in our small town Canadian highschool in the early 2000’s. Anyone in the immediate vicinity of the bear spray was taken to the front parking lot, clothing removed, and hosed down with a fire-hose in November. Their clothes were bagged up and taken to a lab for testing and the naked students (and some naked teachers) were given basically poly sheets and told to sit on a couple of city busses that were commandeered by the local police department and fire department during the investigation. A haz-mat team went into the school and found the bear spray. We all got to go home after that. – pw_15
