A hazardous materials team remains on scene at a Saint Petersburg address following an overdose incident that escalated due to an unknown odor. This is what we know so far about the developing situation.

As of 15-20 minutes after initial dispatch, no additional details regarding the nature of the overdose, the substance involved, or any potential injuries have been released by officials or found in preliminary web searches.
