The smell of smoke led to the evacuation of at least one wing of McArthur Elementary School on Ten Mile Road Wednesday afternoon.

Escambia Fire Rescue traced the smell to dust in a heating unit that was activated for the first time this year. While a light smoky haze was reported in the building, there was no sign of a fire.

Students were allowed back in the building in under 30 minutes.
