Fire Alarm Extends Intermission at Fargo Concert

FARGO, N.D. (AP) — A fire alarm apparently triggered by a fog machine gave concert patrons an extended intermission during a Fargo holiday music show.

The incident at the Fargo Theatre happened Saturday night during a concert by the Blenders, a four-man a cappella group.

The alarm went off during the show's intermission. Fargo firefighters responded and checked the downtown theater, causing a delay before the show resumed.

Theater director Emily Beck tells The Forum newspaper (http://bit.ly/rty2sV ) the incident was "kind of a fluke" and that concertgoers "just got a longer intermission than usual."
