There was a smoke-filled room at the Wisconsin Capitol building Tuesday, but this wasn’t a bunch of politicians puffing on cigars while negotiating bills.
Capitol police evacuated the building after fire alarms went off and the smoke was filling the media room.
Reporters said they smelled something like burnt rubber Tuesday morning.
The alarms began sounding shortly before the Wisconsin Senate was about to convene for a floor session.
No injuries were reported and officials haven’t said what caused the problem.
