A mysterious bleach-like odor caused the evacuation of DeKalb High School on Friday as well as the hospitalization of more than a dozen students.
The Waterloo Fire Department was called to the school at 2:44 p.m. after people began to notice a strange odor and some students had trouble breathing.

A school official said the odor was coming from the art room and an adjoining hallway, according to the fire department.

The Auburn Fire Department’s Hazmat Team was called to check the building, but the unit could not find the source of the odor.

Some students complained not only of trouble breathing but also of dizziness.
