The Detroit motor show halls were evacuated yesterday when an electrical fire broke out above the Audi stand.
Nobodywas hurt in the incident, and no exhibits were damaged, but the showwas shut for several hours while the fire brigade attended the scene,extinguished the fire and ensured it was safe.
Reportssuggest the show halls were evacuated 'in minutes' although some showvisitors admitted they though the smoke filling the halls was part of a launch.
"We happened to see a little more fog and somebody saidthey must have a fog machine at the Chrysler booth," Bill Malone, whowas near the exhibit when the fire broke out, told reporters.
Theshow has now reopened, and anyone evacuated has been given the optionof returning on another day free of charge. The show closes to thepublic this Sunday.
