An unusual odor wafting through the 100 block of Young Branch Drive in Middletown prompted concerned calls to emergency services around 6:27 p.m. Tuesday. Fire unit E72 arrived on the scene, only to discover the culprit was nothing more than freshly spread manure. By 6:39 p.m., crews confirmed there was no hazard—just a country-scented reminder of rural life. E72 returned to service shortly after. No gas leak, no chemical spill—just Mother Nature’s least glamorous air freshener.
