Arriving fire crews soon smelled a heavy odor of gas and began to evacuate the building. Firefighters were then able to find and isolate the leak, which was found to be coming from a stove on the second floor of the building. 

Five residents and two firefighters were later evaluated by EMS crews from the Carmel Volunteer Ambulance Corps. Luckily, none of them required a trip to the hospital, the fire department said.
