Dumfries, Va. — Since Monday, fire and EMS crews in Dumfries have been called to at least five instances where residents have reported a strange smell.

In some of the cases the callers said the smell is so bad they have become ill, feeling light headed and nauseated, according to fire and rescue crews.

In most cases, fire crews have been called for reports of natural gas permeating neighborhoods. But what is it?

Dumfries officials are on the case and insidenova.com has more on this story.
