A malfunctioning vending machine in the Emergency Department at Northern Westchester Hospital gave off an odor on Tuesday, which prompted the hospital to seek help from the Mount Kisco Fire Department.
Mark Vincent, a spokesman for NWH, told Patch that the fire department was contacted out of an "abundance of caution," and that the situation was taken care of. Work in the emergency room appeared to return to normal.
The hospital is expected to replace the vending machine with a new one, he said.
