Two corrections officers were hospitalized Friday night after inhaling an unidentified odor at the Perryville Prison.

Goodyear Fire Department Russ Braden said crews were dispatched to the facility near Citrus and McDowell roads after receiving reports of a natural gas smell inside.

Braden said the 27-year-old male officer and 24-year-old female officer are in stable condition with flu-like symptoms.

Officials say no gas readings were found inside or outside the building.

The investigation was turned over to Southwest Gas around 9:30 p.m.
