Kitchen smoke sends firefighters to courthouse
 

Smoke in the kitchen of the jail portion of the Adams County Courthouse sent 13 firefighters and six units to 521 Vermont about 8 p.m. Wednesday.

There was no fire, no one had to be evacuated and there were no injuries, according to Quincy Fire Department Capt. James Pioch. The smoke was already dissipated when the firefighters arrived and fans were not necessary.

Pioch said a thermal imaging camera detected the heat source to a motor on an air handler atop the roof of the building. Firefighters were on scene for about an hour.
