Odor of smoke at Hedberg Library
JANESVILLE—Thirty to 40 people evacuated the Hedberg Public Library in downtown Janesville at 10:50 this morning after an automatic fire alarm sounded.
Firefighters found no flames or smoke. Their initial theory is that a roof leak caused an electrical short, triggering the alarm and subsequent evacuation.
No one was injured, and library employees said no one balked at leaving the building. The evacuees stood outside the building in an occasional light rain but the unseasonably warm temperature of 54 degrees.
Library employees and patrons re-entered the building at 11:11 a.m.
