The Orange County Hazmat Team rushed to the Orange County nursing home following reports of some kind of noxious odor in the building. Some residents also said they were feeling sick, Mark Lieb of Rockland Video tells Hudson Valley Post in an email.

At least one wing of the facility had to be closed off.

The Orange County Hazmat Team was joined by Goshen firefighters and ambulance personnel outside the nursing home. First responders also called in the New York State Fire Marshall.

At least two people were evaluated by emergency personnel, according to Orange County NY Fire Calls. There's no confirmed word, as of this writing, regarding how many residents had to be taken to the hospital.

Emergency crews were on the scene for several hours into the early morning hours on Tuesday investigating the hazmat scare.
