Saw on Facebook there was/is a fire in the tent. No news feed to post as yet.

Looks like a smoke detector when off which forced the evacuation. No fire as was originally reported on Jeff Burgers site. Guess he jumped the gun as I did after reading his post.

I edited the title. Looks like someone jumped the gun, as you said...

We were there yesterday waiting to board Delta when the alarm went off. Everyone had to leave the tent while the fire trucks showed up.
Never saw any smoke, etc. and never heard what happened. They let us all back in and flight left on time.

Glad it at least didn't delay your flight.

Glad all was OK. Just to bad for the inconvenience. Did you have to go back through security again?

No, we didn't have to go back through security. They led everyone out on the tarmac and took us back in after the all clear.
