Firefighters were dispatched to the Cokesbury Village Retirement/Assisted Living Facility on the 700 block of Loveville Road in Hockessin, New Castle County, around 9:30 a.m.
Additional responders were called in as residents were evacuated to the front lawn.
At least one resident reported a headache and nausea. Apartments were being opened up for ventilation.
