HazMat crews were called out to CMC around 4 a.m. after officials found what they originally thought were two suspicious devices inside an ambulance on the hospital’s campus.

Investigators told Channel 9 the ambulance was parked in an area of the hospital that is easily accessible to pedestrians.
 
Around 5:15 a.m. a bomb technician was called to CMC and officials were looking at surveillance video to see if there was someone in that area who shouldn’t have been. This is the second suspicious-device scare at CMC Main in the last week.
