Residents of an apartment building at 20 Prescott St. were evacuated last night after the Cambridge Fire Department responded to a false alarm reporting smoke in the building.
Four engines blocked off Prescott St. between Harvard St. and Broadway last night at about 9:10 p.m., but despite a sounding alarm, a search of the building revealed no smoke, according to Deputy Chief William Rose.
Firefighters reset the smoke alarm and residents were allowed to reenter the building at about 9:30 p.m. Firefighters called the four trucks and ladder "routine" for a call of this nature.
Some residents of Greenough and Hurlbut Halls, both located on Prescott Street, gathered outside to investigate. "The whole thing was kind of anti-climatic, but it beat the hell out of studying," said Luke D. Moland '97, a Greenough resident.
