Staff and patients were evacuated from Independence Health System’s Crossroads Campus shortly before 9 a.m. on Monday morning, Dec. 15, after a fire alarm sounded.

Care quickly resumed following the evacuation, which was done out of “an abundance of caution,” said Melissa Forster, marketing & media relations specialist, on Monday.

At 9:30 a.m., she confirmed normal patient care had resumed at the Oneida Valley Road location.

Butler County Emergency Services received a report at 8:47 a.m. of smoke in the building’s third floor.

“A split heating coil set off the alarm, but there was no fire and nothing further to report,” Forster said.

Before firefighters at the scene discovered the cause, a second alarm was called.

The response to the location, however, was concluded before 9:15 a.m.
