An alleged fire that occurred at about 2:05 p.m. Tuesday in the Union turned out to be a false alarm, according to East Lansing Fire Department reports.
East Lansing Fire Lt. Dawn Carson said an alarm went off in the building and the problem was resolved before authorities even got to the scene.
When the alarm sounded, students were evacuated from the building.
Interdisciplinary studies in social science junior Alexandra Sanchez said she and her friend thought the alarm was a joke before they were evacuated.
“We didn’t smell anything,” Sanchez said. “We debated whether to stay or go and whether or not it was a drill. It was really confusing.”
