Government Services Center evacuation
Luckily, it was a sunny day.
Had 300-some city employees and many more county and court employees been standing outside in the rain, they might have been less agreeable. As is, the only rain was inside the Government Services Center.
Responding to smoke in the basement from a burned out generator, that knocked out power to the entire block, a person pulled a fire alarm activating a “water curtain.” The curtain is designed to separate the city and county sides of the building in the event of a fire and flooded most of the lobby on the county side of the building.
Jurors in the Harvey Johnson murder trial were among the evacuees. As crews tried to dry the floor, Butler County Children’s Services had to move a press conference to the front of the building.
The power outtage affected businesses on the same block like Ronda’s Courthouse Cafe and 5/3 Bank. Power came back on to most of the block by 1:20 p.m. Though, the traffic light at Third and Court streets was still out at 2:50 p.m.
