Miami-Dade Fire Rescue officials also responded to the scene.
Lt. Felipe Lay said it's unclear whether the odor was the result of a chemical, rotten food or something else.
The fire department's hazmat unit was called out and brought in meters to see whether they could determine what caused the odor.
