Sky Sports channel forced off air as studio is evacuated due to fire alarm in middle of event
SKY SPORTS’ NFL studio was forced to evacuate due to a fire alarm in the middle of a playoff game.
The moment occurred during yesterday’s clash between the Buffalo Bills and the Baltimore Ravens.
The Bills won a tight contest 27-25 to set up a match against NFL champions Kansas City Chiefs.
But there was plenty of drama off the field too.
Sky Sports NFL host Neil Reynolds revealed he and colleagues were forced to exit their building during the match.
That’s because a fire alarm went off, leaving the channel unmanned as stadium clips were played instead.
He said on X: “Fire alarm… had to leave building for now.
“Hope to be back with you on @SkySportsNFL soon.
“Never a dull moment in the playoffs.”
Reappearing on screen once the alarm had ended, Reynolds joked about the incident with colleagues.
He said: “We’re not letting no fire alarm beat us! It’s playoff football!”
One guest quipped: “Tried to get rid of us but we are back!”
Reynolds replied: “That high-pitched sound wasn’t the fire alarm.
“Turns out it was my voice all along!”
Fans were certainly tickled by the incident.
One said: “I can take over for 5 from my living room sofa.”
Another declared: “Thought you guys had clocked off for bed.”
One noted: “Was wondering where you were.”
Another added: “This is incredible content.”
