The NFL RedZone crew found themselves in a bit of a predicament on Sunday night.
As the late Sunday games were winding down, with the highlight being a back and forth Philadelphia Eagles versus Buffalo Bills matchup, an alarm starting blaring during the NFL RedZone broadcast. While false alarms happen all the time, host Scott Hanson and the rest of the NFL RedZone crew were told to evacuate the building on air in the middle of their broadcast!
Here’s how the initial alarm and evacuation happened on NFL RedZone, with Hanson’s narration of the incident.

Thankfully, it seemed as if it was safe enough for Hanson to return, as he came back to finish off the broadcast a few moments later.
