Staff members at Belmont Secondary in Langford smelled gas when they entered the school Friday morning.
Principal Jim Lamond then made the decision to pull the fire alarm around 8 a.m. as a precaution to evacuate the school.
According to Lindsey Vogan, public relations for the Sooke School District, the fire department checked the school and the area and found that the smell was coming from a sewage pipe.
There was no interruption to the students’ day and classes have rescheduled as usual.
