Suspicious container not hazardous in Contra Costa storage unit

PITTSBURG, Calif. - The search of a Pittsburg storage unit for a possible hazardous material turned up nothing dangerous on Friday, the Contra Costa Fire Protection District said.

An unspecified material had been found in a container in a vacant storage unit on Friday that prompted the facility's owner to request officials to examine its contents, a Con Fire spokesperson said. 

There was a strange smell in the unit on Railroad Avenue, but no dangerous material was found, the fire department said.

No evacuations were ordered.
