Marlies Game Disrupted Due To Fire Alarm; Fans React Online
However fans taking in the Toronto Marlies and Belleville Senators game were treated to the unexpected when with 9:46 remaining in the first period a sudden fire alarm went off inside Coca-Cola Arena:
Apparently, it was a false alarm however, as after investigating there was found to be no issues and fans were allowed back with the teams given a brief warmup period:
Thankfully this was nothing more than just an accidental occurrence and while we have no idea what caused the alarm, the fact that everyone is alright is the main thing.
It isn't the first time that an AHL game was paused due to a fire alarm as back in 2015, the San Jose Barracuda experienced a similar incident:
An inconvenience for sure, it could have been due to a variety of factors that caused the issue, and it seemed to not have deterred the Marlies fans from giving their humorous takes on social media:
One fan even had an ironic take, since David Kampf was skating once again after missing with an injury; his presence alone must have been the culprit:
The Marlies themselves didn't seem to deterred by the brief pause in action, with them pouring four goals on their inter-provincial rivals, however it was Belleville who got the last laugh with a 5-4 shootout win.
