<p>At around noon PT on Tuesday, a fire alarm was pulled at Apple Park when a white powder substance was discovered. Workers in the immediate area were evacuated for about two hours while the Santa Clara County Fire and Sheriff&rsquo;s office investigated. Nothing dangerous was found, and workers returned to the office at around 3 pm PT, according to reports.</p>



<p>The incident draws to mind the 2001 anthrax attacks when letters containing anthrax spores were mailed to several lawmakers and media offices resulting in five deaths. Authorities haven&rsquo;t said what the substance was or why it was in the envelope.</p>



<p>According to <a href="https://go.redirectingat.com/?id=111346X1569486&amp;url=https://www.theverge.com/2022/3/15/22979944/apple-park-campus-evacuated-white-powder-substance&amp;xcust=1-1-623637-1-0-0&amp;sref=https://www.macworld.com/feed" rel="nofollow">The Verge[/url], Apple said authorities concluded that there was no presence of hazardous materials and all sections of Apple Park are operating normally.</p>
