Shoreline Fire Department responded to an alarm in the library at around 12:30 p.m. from what appears to be smoke from an electrical burnout. The building has been evacuated and closed to determine the exact cause.
“We’re going to have to close the library until further notice,” Safety and Security Director Robin Blacksmith said.
Blacksmith said the cause was “probably” an H-VAC motor that burned out.
Responding to the scene were units from three separate stations, including three aid units (ambulances), one battalion car, and three fire engines – one of which was a ladder truck.
Look for updates as this story develops.
