GILBERT, Ariz. (AP) - A Gilbert animal emergency hospital was evacuated Thursday morning after the staff reported an odor that they thought might be a gas leak.

Southwest Gas Corp. determined there was no gas leak at BluePearl Veterinary Partners but hazardous-material crews determined there was some type of problem.

Crews evacuated the animals — over a dozen dogs and at least one cat — from the building and were trying to determine the source of the problem.



Deputy Fire and Rescue Chief Josh Ehrman said BluePearl was contacting the owners of those animals.
