DEWITT, N.Y. -- Emergency crews were investigating a possible hazardous materials situation in DeWitt this morning.

Around 8:40 a.m., a substance was found on Kimber Road behind Christian Brothers Academy. Officials say a dog ingested the substance and had a reaction to it. They say the substance was not airborne, and a human in the area was not affected.

The substance was collected, and the Department of Environmental Conservation will analyze samples to determine exactly what the substance is.
