BARTOW | The Polk County Courthouse was evacuated for about 20 minutes this morning after dust particles triggered a smoke alarm.
Loud emergency sirens inside the courthouse directed everyone to exit, and hundreds of people lined the streets as a fire engine drove by with lights and sirens blaring.
A maintenance worker inadvertently triggered a smoke alarm while working on the sprinkler system in the sixth-floor maintenance closet, Court Administrator Nick Sudzina said.
Dust particles were agitated and blown into the sprinkler system, setting off the alarm, he said.
To prevent this from occurring again, the sprinkler bypass system will be engaged during any maintenance work, Sudzina said.
"The good thing about this incident is the evacuation system worked as it is supposed to and everyone left the building timely and reported to the proper assembly area," he said in an email.

Water from a single fire sprinkler head was enough to suppress a fire in a George Street apartment Friday and prevent what could have been a very serious fire, Charleston fire officials said Saturday.
About 5:40 p.m. Friday, the fire department was dispatched to an automatic fire alarm at 21 George St., according to a news release from the Charleston Fire Department.
When firefighters arrived, they smelled a burning odor and saw water flowing from underneath an apartment door, the release said. The call was upgraded to a possible structure fire, and additional fire units were dispatched.
Residents were evacuated from the building and firefighters forced entry into the apartment where the water was coming from, the release said.
A single fire sprinkler head located in that apartment had contained the fire to the kitchen area of the apartment. Firefighters finished putting out the fire and checked to make sure it had not extended into other rooms or apartments.
"Without the fire sprinkler system we would have had a substantial event, damaged multiple apartments, and displaced numerous families," said Charleston Fire Marshal Mike Julazadeh. "The fire sprinkler system was part of the critical life safety components of this building. In this case, a single fire sprinkler head operated and controlled the fire event until the fire department could arrive and mitigate any remaining hazards. Management is working to repair water damage and restore minimal smoke and fire damage."
Investigators determined the fire had been accidentally set when a new tenant who was moving in had place combustible items on the stove. A control knob to the stove was inadvertently activated, perhaps in the moving process, the release said.
Fire officials said residents should remember to never store combustible materials on a stove or cooking surface and to always maintain working smoke alarms.
The Charleston Fire Department was assisted by the St. Andrews Fire Department, Charleston County EMS, and the Charleston Police Department.

Sprinkler system squelches apartment fire in downtown apartment building
CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCIV) A kitchen fire in downtown Charleston Friday evening was kept from spreading to the rest of the home by a sprinkler system, firefighters say.
According to the Charleston Fire Department, crews were called to a George Street home around 5:30 p.m. where they could smell smoke and saw water running underneath a door.
The building was evacuated and firefighters forced their way into the home where they found the water was coming from a single sprinkler head that had contained the fire to the kitchen, officials said.
Firefighters finished putting out the fire and made sure there were no other areas of concern.
Without the fire sprinkler system we would have had a substantial event, damaged multiple apartments, and displaced numerous families, said Fire Marshal Mike Julazadeh. The fire sprinkler system was part of the critical life safety components of this building. In this case, a single fire sprinkler head operated and controlled the fire event until the fire department could arrive and mitigate any remaining hazards. Management is working to repair water damage and restore minimal smoke and fire damage.
Fire investigators said the fire was accidental and started on the stove when the tenant left something combustible on the stove. One of the control knobs was hit, turning on the eye and sparking the fire.

Sprinker system squelches apartment fire in downtown apartment building
MONTREAL At a routine fire safety inspection of a three-storey apartment building in Pointe-Claire on Friday, inspectors found several serious infractions, including a dozen used barbecue propane canisters cluttering a third-floor hallway, a fire exit blocked by an old stove, and disabled smoke detectors in two of the apartments.
This is about average, said Derry Spence, chief of the prevention section of the Montreal fire department after the two-hour inspection. I have seen a lot worse.
In the past, the owner of the building might have been given some time to clean up his act. But now that Montreal Island municipalities have adopted common fire safety bylaws that match the federal fire prevention code, Spence says its no more Mr. Nice Guy.
In the past we kind of took people by the hand and it took too long to get things done, he said. Now owners really have to assume fire prevention responsibility for their buildings because we will be starting the legal process on the spot, for certain infractions.
Fines of between $500 and $4,000 will be issued immediately for each infraction when it comes to certain bylaws considered critical to protecting human life, such as ensuring a sprinkler system is properly supplied with water or that fire alarms work.
The province began to push municipalities to improve their fire prevention plans back in 2003. Last fall, the last of the island municipalities finally adopted the modernized and uniform fire prevention bylaws, in line with the federal fire prevention code. There has been a moratorium on applying the new rules while the fire department updated its methods and equipment to be able to quickly and efficiently apply the uniform bylaws across the island.
In June, that moratorium was lifted and now the department has launched a broad communications campaign to let property owners know not only that the rules have changed, but also that they mean business.
On Friday morning, Spence and fire prevention officer Brian Michaud showed up at the Pointe-Claire apartment building without warning the owner or residents.
In the past we would send a letter to let them know we were coming in advance; we dont do that anymore, Spence said.
