Morning travel plans were briefly interrupted Thursday at Pitt-Greenville Airport because of an early morning evacuation.
Crews were sent to the terminal around 4:15 a.m. after smoke was reported inside the building. Airport staff and several passengers preparing for a 5:05 a.m. flight to Charlotte were forced outside while fire officials investigated the source.
Greenville Fire and Rescue tracked the smoke to a burnt-out HVAC belt in the airport basement. Nobody was hurt and officials gave the all-clear for everyone to head back inside just before 6:00 a.m.
