Fumes from a chemical spill caused seven people to be hospitalized.

Around 9:30 a.m. Thursday, a chemical spill at Skyview High School in Vancouver sickened seven people. They were all transported to Salmon Creek Legacy Hospital.

There are reports that a student brought a container of chemicals to school and another student pushed it away causing it to spill on the floor.

Ammonia and bleach can combine to make a gas that's hazardous to breathe.

A hazardous materials team contained the spill.

School officials and the Clark County Sheriff's Office are investigating.
