BOSTON — The Massachusetts Statehouse has been evacuated following a fire alarm.

An Associated Press writer reported an acrid smell and firefighters running through the hallways on Friday.

A school orchestra that had been playing on the grand staircase was evacuated along with workers and other visitors.

A fire spokesman said the incident doesn’t appear to be serious.

No further information was immediately available.
