Jackie Gleason Bus Depot fumes 'nauseating'
Firefighters evaluated 66 children and four adults at a Sunset Park, Brooklyn elementary school on Friday after the children and staff became dizzy and nauseated by a noxious odor at roughly 11 a.m.
An FDNY spokesperson told the Brooklyn Eagle that all the kids checked out OK, and that no one from P.S. 24, at 38th Street and 4th Avenue, was transported to the hospital as a result of the incident.
A school source said that FDNY and its EMS division, as well as Department of Education support, went to P.S. 24 to monitor the situation and ensure student and staff safety.
