Update: Back inside the State House after alarm

PROVIDENCE -- Everyone is back in the State House.

Fire crews had evacuated the building this morning after an alarm was tripped, leaving staff and others in the rain.

According to a Journal reporter on scene, people were outside for roughly a half hour.

James Taylor, Providence Fire Department chief of communications, said a box alarm was tripped at about 9:50 a.m. by people doing work on the building.

People had been back inside for about 45 minutes by 11:30 a.m.
