Local firefighters were called to the central campus of Southern State Community College at approximately 10:30 a.m. Wednesday.

An alarm was pulled after reports of a boom and the smell of smoke in the 100 hallway.

The building was evacuated while firefighters investigated.

Students were allowed in the Patriot Center during the evacuation.

"We evacuated Central Campus due to smoke in the 100 hallway. The fire department was dispatched immediately," SSCC President Dr. Kevin Boys said.

Dr. Boys said the issue appeared to be related to a motor in a hallway heater.

Classes are canceled until noon Wednesday, but the college anticipates that it will be back in session for afternoon classes, Dr. Boys said.
