Weishaar, in a release, says crews were called around 7:50 Sunday evening to 1301 North 4th Street, the Homestead Assisted Living Facility, formerly Vintage Park, where they found staff in the process of evacuating residents as a precaution.
Weishaar says crews traced the odor to a gas stove, but no active gas leaks were detected, and monitoring equipment confirmed there were no dangerous readings inside the facility. Firefighters used ventilation fans to clear the odor, and residents were able to return safely.
Weishaar, in the release, commended facility staff for their quick actions and adherence to safety protocols.
