ATHENS, Ohio (WCMH) -- Fire alarms sounded for 45 minutes at Ohio University's Peden Stadium Tuesday night, causing Athens firefighters to break into the press box during the Bobcats' game against Eastern Michigan. According to videos posted to X, the press box fire alarms sounded for around 45 minutes and at least a portion of the credentials room was evacuated. Videos showed firefighters attempting to enter the press box using chainsaws, and reporters said they covered the remainder of the game outside. Director of Ohio University Athletics Administration and Football Communications Sarah Newgarde said the event was a non-issue. "A minor issue in the credential booth caused the fire alarm to go off, but it was quickly resolved," Newgarde said. Someone familiar with the incident alleged the issue came from someone turning on an old heater after being told not to, resulting in the alarms. No one was hurt, and the game continued play. Ohio University went on to win the home game, defeating fellow Mid-American Conference competitor Easter Michigan 35-10. Ohio University is tied for first in the MAC after the win, a 5-1 record tied with Bowling Green and rival Miami. The Bobcats will take on the Toledo Rockets next on Nov. 20 at 7 p.m. at Toledo.
