WILKES-BARRE- Firefighters cordoned off a section of Coal Street on
Saturday evening after someone found a box that appeared to hold biohazardous
material. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 It turned out to be a regular toolbox that had a biohazard sticker on it. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "It was nothing," said Assistant Fire Chief Charles Onesko. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 The box and several other items fell out of a truck onto Coal Street at the
intersection with Custer Street. A passerby saw the box and notified
authorities. They blocked a 75-foot section of the road and notified the
Luzerne County Emergency Management Agency and Pennsylvania Department of
Environmental Protection. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 It took 15 minutes for the box's owner to return and explain the box was
his and contained no toxic materials, Onesko said. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
