Two floors were evacuated after a fire started burning in the laundry room at Parkview Lodge on 2nd Ave. N.E. yesterday morning.
It started with the Dauphin Fire Department responding to a report of general fire alarms sounding at the building just before 1 a.m.
When fire crews got there, they were met by occupants of the building and security who said that someone had pulled a pull station, thus activating the alarm system. However, a quick check of the alarm panel revealed that a heat detector on the tenth floor was activated.
They then went to the tenth floor, where they saw the fire in the laundry room with heavy smoke entering the hallway.
Firefighters evacuated the tenth and eleventh floors while they put out the blaze.
After putting it out, they inspected the remaining floors to make sure the building was safe.
According to the Dauphin Fire Dept., the cause of the fire remains under investigation and nobody was injured.
