Smoke at Pasadena Target Forces Short Evacuation
Smoke in an elevator shaft at a two-story Target in Pasadena prompted firefighters to briefly evacuate the store Tuesday.
The smoke in the store at 777 Colorado Blvd. was caused about 4:30 p.m. by hydraulic fluid that leaked onto the motor that drives the elevator, Lisa Derderian of the Pasadena Fire Department said.
No one was in the elevator at the time, she said.
