BBC Look North broadcast interrupted by false fire alarm, host confirmed no fire.

BBC Look North's broadcast was unexpectedly interrupted on 21 Aug 2024 due to a fire alarm incident, causing the absence of regular host Peter Levy. Levy later confirmed on Twitter there was no fire, and the disruption was caused by a false alarm. This is not the first time BBC viewers have experienced abrupt changes due to fire alarm incidents or evacuations. In November 2023, a similar incident forced presenters to abandon their BBC Breakfast hosting roles, and in August 2024, BBC studios in Salford were evacuated over fire fears.
