Fire Forces Evacuation at City Hall


A small fire in the women’s bathroom on the fourth floor of City Hall forced an evacuation of the building shortly after 1 p.m. on Thursday. The sprinkler system came on, so water poured down the outside of the building and down elevator shafts. Firefighters were on hand, but the fire seemed to be easily extinguished and shouldn’t be cause for much more concern. [Philly.com]
