Crews from the Hays Fire Department were called to a report of a structure fire at the Central Office Building of  Hays Medical Center Patient Accounts, 2507 Canterbury, at approximately 11 a.m. Tuesday morning.

According to Fire Chief, Gary Brown, someone in the building had smelled the “odor of smoke” and called 911.

When fire crews arrived, the building had been evacuated.

Brown said crews thoroughly inspected the building and did not find a fire or detect anything wrong.

But he said it is good thing when firefighters arrive at a scene and find no one is in danger.

“We get calls like this all the time,” Brown said, adding it is better to be safe and call 911 just in case, then to wait until it is too late.
