Civil servants still in the Government Administration Building late on Tuesday afternoon were evacuated by security after their smoke detector alarm went off. The reason behind the alarm activation was not clear, but the Fire Department rushed to the scene with three vehicles as a precautionary measure. The building was inspected and cleared after 5:00pm by the firefighters, who said there was no indication of a blaze in the building. Minister of Education, Wycliffe Smith was the only minister seen outside the building with his staff while officials inspected the building, making sure it was safe to re-enter.
