Update: Escambia County Corrections Office Building Remains Closed

Published Aug 29, 2018

The Escambia County Corrections Office Building, located at 2251 Palafox St., was evacuated about 11:30 a.m. after a strong smell was reported by staff in the building. After running tests, an organic material is thought to be the cause. Escambia County Facilities Management and ECUA crews are still in the process of determining the origin.

The building will be closed for the remainder of the day and county staff expect the building to reopen tomorrow for regular business hours. 

No appointments were scheduled at the corrections building after it was closed today, and anyone stopping by the building has been asked to return tomorrow between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. 

No injuries have been reported.
