A hazmat team is investigating in Canoga Park where a mysterious odor sickened the cast and crew filming using a warehouse as a sound stage.

CANOGA PARK, CA — An unknown odor at a Canoga Park warehouse being used as a sound stage resulted in the evacuation Tuesday of about four dozen actors and crew members.

Firefighters went to the 21300 block of Roscoe Boulevard about 11:15 a.m., said Brian Humphrey of the Los Angeles Fire Department.

The occupants of the 136,000-square-foot single-story warehouse were brought outside after complaining of "respiratory irritation," Humphrey said.
