Alarms and sprinklers went off on the G Concourse at the Minneapolis St. Paul International Airport's Terminal 1 Monday morning.
Officials say a fire alarm went off about 5 a.m., and firefighters found smoke in a break room above Gate G6.
"The police department went ahead and evacuated, for safety reasons, the 20 people or so that were in the area of Gates G1 through G6 and they moved one flight," said Melissa Skovronski, a spokeswoman for the airport. "One flight has been affected and I am not expected any more.
No one was injured in the incident, Skovronski said, and it wasn't immediately clear what caused the smoke that set off the alarm. Operations elsewhere at the airport are going on as normal.
