 Employees at BB&T in downtown Pikeville started their day with a small hiccup. Staff had to evacuate the building early Friday morning due to a fire alarm. While no flames were visible, protocol was still followed. Pikeville Fire Department and Emergency Management arrived on scene and quickly evaluated the situation, which turned out to be minor. Upon entering the building, we found the smoke in the first floor, I guess you would call it the lobby area, and it's kind of an open scenario going up the second floor. But again, the fire went really quick about locating the source, and it turned out to be electrical. So again, they were able to isolate, and once they isolated and was able to turn it back over maintenance, they were able to come back into the building. While emergency officials were inside assessing the building, Main Street and a portion of Division Street were closed for roughly two hours. Any time we have an alarm downtown or a fire or anything of that nature, obviously it's going to affect traffic. However, today it was near lunchtime. Traffic was heavy, but we were able to detour the traffic. People here in the public, they followed the detours really well, so it really didn't create that big of a storm, so we were good. Even though the workday for BB&T employees was detoured for two hours, the bank was able to finish the day with no problems. Reporting in Pikeville for EKB News, I'm Shelby Steele.
