DFR Called After White Powder Letter Found at Army and Air Force Exchange Call Center

Technicians with Dallas Fire-Rescue say a white powder found inside an envelope Thursday at an Army Air Force Exchange call center on Autobahn Drive is harmless.

Jason Evans, with DFR, said firefighters were called at about 2:10 p.m. after two people processing credit card applications came into contact with an envelope that contained a white, powdery substance.

The substance was not found until the envelope was partially opened. Hazmat technicians determine that the white, powdery substance was a non-threatening, non-lethal, starch-based powder.

The two people who came into contact with the substance are not showing any adverse symptoms and have not been hospitalized, Evans said.

NBC 5 has learned the AAFES Stoneridge Call Center houses the following businesses: Army & Air Force Exchange Service and the AAFES Federal Credit Union.
