UPDATE:
Authorities have confirmed there is no fire at the high school, and students are being let back into the building.
Idaho Falls Fire Department Battalion Chief Cody Anderson tells EastIdahoNews.com the motor in a ceiling mounted heating unit inside one of the classrooms burned up, causing smoke.
School officials called the main office to report the smell of smoke, and the district office ordered the evacuation of the building.
The smoke did not set off the fire alarm, as was originally reported.
