According to the Pottsgrove School Districts Twitter feed, the high school was evacuated at 1:05 p.m. on Wednesday. Emergency crews responded to the scene by around 1:20 p.m. and investigated the incident. <\/p>\n
The chemistry lab had an incident where a chemical got mixed together and it sort of flashed in front of a student, said Lower Pottsgrove Fire Marshal Lew Babel. It was put out over the air by somebody but it was just a chemical reaction that overheated in a container and popped it. <\/p>\n
Babel said the student was taken to Pottstown Memorial Medical Center to be evaluated for any burns. <\/p>\n
