The building was evacuated under emergency conditions. The fire department arrived to verify why the fire alarm went off and determined it was due to loss of power to the building. For the next few days, building 200 did not have running water. The Riverfront management worked to get a temporary generator unit in to have basic power supplied to building 200.
