(PRESS RELEASE)<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The Royal Police Force of Antigua and Barbuda Fire Brigade is commending the employees who work in the State Insurance Building located at the corner of Long and Thames Streets in how they conducted the evacuation of the building on Tuesday morning when the fire alarm was sounded after an employee reported smelling smoke.<\/p>\n

The building which houses several government departments including the Labour and Immigration Departments was evacuated in an orderly fashion with workers congregating at the designated locations and Church and Long Streets.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Two fire engines responded to the alarms. According to officials from the Fire Department, nothing was found even after a primary and secondary search of all floors and rooms was conducted. However, the building\u2019s maintenance was called to do a check of all the air handler rooms.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

When the all-clear was given for the workers to re-enter the building, normal work resumed for the rest of the day.<\/p>\n

When emergencies arise, a reliable\u00a0Fire Watch Company Near Me<\/a>\u00a0can quickly assess the situation and implement necessary measures. Their ability to respond effectively is essential for maintaining safety and minimizing damage during critical incidents.<\/p>
