May 3rd, 2014

Mobile firefighters responded to an audible fire alarm at Government Plaza at approximately 3:21 a.m. Saturday morning, May 3.

When first firefighters arrived on scene and entered the building they discovered smoke inside the atrium of the building. After searching for the source they discovered fire on the roof at the 8th floor level of the north tower.

A second alarm was called for at this point.

The fire had breached two windows but firefighters were able to contain the fire to the roof area and prevented its spread to the interior of the building.

There was smoke and water damage however.

The cause of the fire appears to have been caused by roof repair operations.

No damage estimate is available at this time.

No injuries were reported.

The 8th floor north tower holds the circuit court and jury assembly area.
