![]() The Chromebook challenge has caused chaos for US schools, leading to laptop fires that have forced school evacuations, early dismissals, and the summoning of first responders.

The incident reportedly led to one student going to the hospital due to smoke inhalation and is suspected to be connected to the viral trend. 'Although the investigation is ongoing, the student involved will be referred to juvenile court to face criminal charges,' Reas said.
