Burnt Macaroni and Cheese Episode Forces Evacuation at Iowa State Capitol
A burnt bowl of macaroni and cheese forced a brief evacuation at the Iowa Capitol, recently.
Iowa Department of Administrative Services spokesman Caleb Hunter says somebody’s lunch was carelessly allowed to burn in a microwave behind the Senate Chambers, on the second floor of the Capitol. He says the smoke prompted a short evacuation of the entire building during the morning.
Luckily, no one was injured in the smoky panic. Hunter commented that he’s not aware of any significant property damage or any injuries sustained in the evacuation.
