While the source of the smoke has yet to be identified, firefighters have advised everyone to stay clear of the premises as investigations continue.
Staffers were forced to evacuate after the smoke was detected this evening in the section of the building housing the offices of Deputy Speaker Fonati Koffa and Representative Richard Koon, the self-declared Speaker of the Majority Bloc.
Emergency responders remain on the scene as they work to determine the cause of the incident and ensure the building’s safety.
