Fire at senator's office forces evacuation

by Nick Delgado

Guam - Occupants at the Guam Legislature were evacuated from the building for about half-hour this afternoon after staff smelled something burning in Senator Tina Muna Barnes' office. Guam Fire Department Acting Spokesperson Specialist Philip Camacho says the minor smoke odor was a result of a shortage in a panel box near the senators' office.

There were no flames or injuries reported. Camacho says fire fighters on Scout 2 continue to monitor the incident.
