Firefighters had to evacuate the Bank of America building on South Florida Avenue today.
They were responding to reports of smoke on the fourth floor. When they arrived they found an electric motor on the elevator had malfunctioned and caught fire.
Crews ran water hoses in case the interior sprinkler system couldn't handle the fire. The fire was doused and and emergency crews were ventilating the upper floors to clear them of smoke.
Employees have been allowed to return to the first floor, but it could be a couple of hours before the upper floors are opened.
