An immediate evacuation happened in the Red Zone. Every week, many NFL enthusiasts watch NFL RedZone to see coverage of every game without commercials. However, a recent incident involving a fire alarm in the newsroom caught everyone’s attention during the Buffalo Bills and Philadelphia Eagles clash.

This led to an interruption in the coverage of the game on Sunday evening, and the crew had to evacuate. Scott Hanson, who has been in media coverage since 2006 and studio hosting for football coverage since 2008, experienced a ‘fake’ fire alarm for the first time. Although it didn’t harm anyone, the experience could have been damaging if it were true. Here’s the full story of what happened!

During a RedZone broadcast on Sunday at around 4 p.m., a fire alarm went off in the Los Angeles Studio. This led Scott Hanson and the crew to immediately evacuate the studio, leaving the Bills vs Eagles game on the broadcast. Hanson explained over the alarm sounds that they had to step outside due to an emergency and he “might be back.” Fortunately, the alarm wasn’t a serious issue. Minutes later, the news came out that Hanson came back to the studio assuring the viewers that it was now safe for him to be there.

The 52-year-old host then shared that RedZone would be going off the air, not due to a fire, but because the ChiefsRaiders game had finished. This meant the Bills vs Eagles game was the only one left. When there is only one-game, RedZone can’t show it all, so they directed their viewers to their CBS affiliate for the final minutes as the Bills tried to retake the lead in Philly. This alarm sound was a strange situation, and Hanson wasn’t entirely sure what had happened. He later said, “Well, that was…. interesting. Alarm has stopped. Apparently all clear. Still waiting on details.
