ky.gov

The Kentucky state Capitol was evacuated Friday morning for a possible fire.

Firefighters searched the building before allowing people back inside. State workers and several elementary school tour groups huddled outside under clear skies while emergency crews showed up in one fire truck and two ambulances.

The Capitol reopened after about 15 minutes. Fire officials said it was a false alarm.
