It appears that a spark from the grinder may have landed in the ventilation system and caused the block to fill with smoke. Although there was no actual fire, the block was evacuated within minutes. Approximately 60 inmates were moved to another area of the facility. The smoke was contained to the cell block and the inmates were evacuated before the smoke filled the area. The Fort Wayne Fire Department responded and used fans to ventilate the area. No injuries were reported.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/bc\/68975.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Clean up is progressing at the Broadway Auto &amp;amp; Truck Repair shop after a fire.
