I doubt Ollie North or Fawn Hall had this problem*
For those listening to the police scanner this morning -- and there are more of you than you'd think -- you may be interested in a note our production director, Jim Schrum, sent out:
At approximately 2:55 AM this morning the fire alarm went off in the main building and our employees had to evacuate the building. The Greensboro Fire Department responded within five minutes. It was determined that the paper shredder had been left in the 'on' position, which caused it to overheat and begin to smoke.
The paper shredder was removed from the building by the fire department, and our employees were then allowed back inside. No one was injured nor was there any other damage to the building or equipment (other than the shredder, of course.)
As a result, some of our papers may have been delivered late this morning. We apologize for the inconvenience.

There are ALWAYS more people listening to the police scanner -- even at 2:55 a.m. -- than you'd think.
As a former night cops reporter, I'm grateful.
