The Blaine police department (BPD) was evacuated just after noon November 29 due to smoke billowing out from the department’s server room, according to a BPD Facebook post.
BPD records supervisor Amy Ebenal said an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) failed and began to smoke, which set off the department’s alarm system. North Whatcom Fire and Rescue (NWFR) crews arrived on scene but did not locate a fire. “But boy was there a lot of smoke,” she said.
IT personnel repaired the UPS, and NWFR crews ventilated the building, which Ebenal said took about 20 minutes.
