Toilet paper powder sparks emergency response
BC personnel activated the college’s emergency response plan when a student worker reported a powdery substance falling from a toilet paper dispenser in the women’s restroom in the Bakersfield College administration building Wednesday.
The strange substance turned out to be toilet paper residue, according to an e-mail sent to all employees by Linda Quinones-Vaughan, executive director of the Division of External Relations and Administrative Services.
A hazardous materials team from the city fire department and county environmental health officials investigated the incident.
