A portion of Apple Park — the company's headquarters in Cupertino, California — has been evacuated because of a possible hazmat situation, local reports indicate.
First responders reportedly discovered an envelope containing a white powder substance, the Santa Clara County Fire Department said. NBC Bay Area reports that the substance has not yet been identified.
According to reports from emergency services scanners, security staff and the Sheriff's Department have the envelope. The incident is reportedly taking place in Apple Park's Section 8.
