MILWAUKEE (WITI) -- The Milwaukee County Courthouse was temporarily evacuated Friday, July 26th around 10 a.m. after alarms were sounded.

The Fire Department says it was a false alarm accidentally set off by a contractor.

20 minutes later, people were let back into the building.

The Courthouse fully reopened this week, after an electrical fire shut the building down for several days.
