THUNDER BAY -- Students and staff at Lakehead University were warned on Thursday of a possible gas leak at the C.J. Sanders Fieldhouse and the Hangar. 

"Please evacuate immediately," says the notice, issued on the school's mobile safety app. 

"Do not enter this building." 

Emergency crews have since cleared the incident and students, staff and visitors have been allowed to re-enter the buildings.
