Civic building evacuated in Winchester after false fire alarm
DOZENS of people were evacuated from a Winchester building this morning after a false fire alarm.
Hampshire Fire & Resuce were called to the Winchester Centre in St Georges Street after a fire alarm was set off in a kitchen.
A woman understood to work at the building also received ambulance treatment after falling over after leaving the building.
Crew manager Richard North said: “It was a lot of fuss over nothing really. Someone burnt their breakfast this morning and set off the alarm. Because the different parts of the centre are interlinked the alarms went off in all rooms and everyone had to leave.
“There is no fire and everything has been switched off so it will be over with very quickly."

A fire alarm goes off and more than 24 people leave the building, whilst one of them falls over, outside the building. The Crew manager says it was a lot of fuss over nothing" yet the HC considers this to be headline news. Yawn.
