County Office Evacuated

Shortly after 11:00 AM today, an office of the Orange County Health Care Agency was evacuated when a “suspicious package” was found in the mailroom at 200 W Santa Ana Blvd. Santa Ana Police and Fire responded in numbers sufficient to close that block of Santa Ana Boulevard in front of the Old Court House on whose steps HCA workers have been sitting while Hazmat and the FBI work to resolve the problem. The evacuation affected only one of the several office suites occupied by HCA. No other business in the building was involved and other than the main entrance, all other entrances to the building were open and freely accessible. No word yet on the description or disposition of the package.
