Narrative:

I was informed by email from the safety department that we had carried hazmat onboard our flight. This was the first notice that this occurred as there was nothing on the [cargo load report] and we had not been informed face to face that hazmat had been loaded onboard the cargo compartment. We were also not informed by ramp personnel that any hazmat was noticed and or removed from our baggage compartment.
