LARCHMONT – About a dozen people were forced from their homes Wednesday after "noxious fumes" began to spread through an East Avenue apartment building, officials said.

The fumes were reported about 2 p.m. by the superintendent of 3 East Ave., Larchmont Fire Lt. Tony Martyn said.

"We responded there and were immediately met by people coughing," Martyn said. "Our members entered the building and experienced the same thing."

Martyn said Larchmont's equipment failed to identify any chemicals that could have caused the fumes, forcing officials to call for more sensitive instruments used by the New Rochelle Fire Department.
