A false fire alarm activation at McArthur Court on Monday afternoon resulted in a 10-minute evacuation, according to University of Oregon Police Department spokesperson Kelly McIver.
On-site contractors, who were cleaning the smoke detectors, triggered the fire alarm at 11:55 p.m. The first officer was at the scene at 11:57 p.m. Eight minutes later, after the panels for the smoke detectors were reset, police cleared the scene.
Those who were evacuated have now been allowed back into the building.
