(KSL News) The center that sends help to the community needed some help of its own this afternoon. People working in the Valley Emergency Communication Center today noticed a strange smell in the building and then started feeling sick.

More than 20 people started having difficulty breathing, headaches and burning in their chest. Five ambulances were called in and transported six people to local hospitals.
It turns out a weed killer sprayed outside the building was sucked inside by the ventilation system, spreading the chemicals throughout the building.

Crews have since shut off that system and filtered out the air.
It's now business as usual at the emergency call center.
