NFL RedZone has been forced to evacuate its personnel at its California studios, as an alarm sounded off during Sunday's coverage of games, with host Scott Hanson branding the situation as 'unprecedented'.
The alarm went off with a little less than 10 minutes left in the fourth quarter of the Buffalo Bills-Philadelphia Eagles game.
'Ladies and gentleman, this is a first in my 20-something-year of my broadcasting career,' Hanson warned the channel's audience at first. 'We have an alarm going off in the studios of NFLRedZone right now, in our studios here in Inglewood, California.
'We are being told we need to evacuate the building. We do not known the nature of the emergency. You can probably hear the alarm going right over the top of my right shoulder, here, as it is something absolutely unprecedented for us.
'We have this game on, the closest game, the Philadelphia-Buffalo game. Our control room needs to evacuate at this time. The studio, in which I'm standing needs to evacuate at this time.'

'We are all good right now, we're remaining calm ' Hanson added in a bid to reassure NFL RedZone viewers. 'But we are following protocols as I'm sure you all would at your places of work.
'So to be continued, hopefully, although this game is in the fourth quarter. I will come back and give you a live update, if and when, I'm able to.'
