Chemistry experiment - forgot important detail
The chemistry teacher's experiment resulted in a deflagration and a slight amount of smoke.
“What was to be expected in the experiment and is usually not a problem,” said the police.
"However, the teacher had forgotten to switch on the smoke extraction system, which is why the smoke spread unintentionally in the classroom and triggered the smoke alarm."
However, no one was harmed in the incident.
There were no classes during the experiment, and there were no students in the building at the time of the assignment.
"Only the chemistry teacher and one other teacher had to leave the high school for a short time," says the press release from the police headquarters.
All rescue workers were able to leave the scene at 5:05 p.m.
