TAMPA, Fla. — Tampa Fire Rescue crews evacuated the University of South Florida's interdisciplinary science building after three people reported being dizzy and ill.
The building was temporarily evacuated as a precaution. Students were let back in the building after 2 p.m. Wednesday.
Tampa Fire said the three people reported feeling ill within a 30-minute time frame, so it sent crews out to check the meters. It also sent a hazmat crew to the Tampa campus.
Crews said neither USF nor Tampa Fire meters showed any chemical leaks. Eight people were evaluated but refused transport to a hospital except for one.
Tampa Fire said it's possible the illness was heat-related.
