Mid-Michigan Walmart evacuated because of odor

Posted: Updated:
GRAND BLANC, MI (WNEM) -

A Mid-Michigan Walmart was closed down Wednesday morning because of an odor.

The Grand Blanc Fire Department shut down the S. Saginaw St. store because an odor was causing people to have adverse reactions, city officials said.

The police chief said they responded to a call for a popping noise at the customer service center about 11:30 a.m. People were experiencing difficulty breathing, Fire Chief David Servetter said.

The fire department originally thought the incident was isolated, but upon further investigation they realized it was throughout the entire store. This resulted in the store being evacuated.

The gas detector didn't find anything, but they ventilated the entire store, Servetter said.

The store will remain closed until an environmental company comes in and investigates. They will check the air quality, Servetter said.

Nobody was hospitalized or treated at the scene following the incident.

Those were fun in school. None of us ever did them inside though, our
VP was just mean with the paddle.

I walked into a K-Mart maybe 30 years ago and my eyes immediately began to burn.

I found out that the cops had used tear gas the previous night on a burglar holed up inside.

Most of the people said they could smell it but I had to leave immediately. I guess my eyes are more sensitive to it than most. I would not be surprised if tear gas in great concentration would kill me.

If it’s anything like my Wal-Mart, where they found a backpack meth lab in the men’s room, I expect once the store was evacuated the odor disappeared.

My kid took his shoes off at the doc’s today. I just about vomited. He was no where near a Wally’s. I promise.

That’s right. We had fun but knew the limits. Common sense was common.

I remember taking one of my teachers out to the parking lot and showing him a new .22 I had just traded a buddy for.

Those days are gone.

Let me guess - there was a Michael Moore sighting coincident with the odor reports.

I was right, huh...

Do your ears hang low, can you swing ‘em high and low, can you toss ‘em over your shoulder like a Continental soldier?

That woman wears her dress as low as a lot of men her age wear their pants high.
