The State Fire Marshal’s Office in North Providence was evacuated Monday afternoon after package containing powder was found inside the building.

The suspicious package was located around 2 p.m. in the Smith Street building, and crews say a substance was discovered on the inside and outside of the package.

The Fire Department is not saying what the powder was, or where it came from, but hazmat crews were seen in the building and the street was blocked off during the investigating.

No one was injured and the scene has since been cleared.

Crews told ABC6 News that there is no danger inside the building, and the incident is still under investigation.
