SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — The Spokane Fire Department was unable to find the source of a rotten egg smell that forced the evacuation Monday night of a city block.

The smell was reported at Fastkart Indoor Speedway, and a hazmat team responded and evacuated several businesses. The scene was cleared about 10 p.m.

Firefighters told KXLY-TV it could have been sewer gas.
