Channel Nine: Today show thrown into chaos as fire alarm goes off in the studio

Channel Nine’s Today show descended into chaos on Monday morning after the fire alarm went off during a live segment.

Hosts Karl Stefanovic and Sarah Abo were preparing to welcome viewers back after an ad break when the alarm was triggered, warning them to ‘evacuate now’.

‘That’s something you don’t hear every day,’ a surprised Sarah said as newsreader Brooke Boney questioned: ‘What do we do? It’s news time.’

‘I’m not filled with great deals of trepidation, I can’t smell any smoke,’ Karl added.

‘For everyone around Australia watching, I know that you’re personally worried about our safety at this point. I don’t want you to be concerned.’

Karl continued: ‘I’ll make some calls, you do the news, and we’ll see what happens.’

Brooke then asked before continuing to read the news: ‘Can everyone hear me? I’ll just go along with it, until someone tells me not to.’

After the alarm ended, Sarah revealed Karl had decided to leave the studio.

‘Now, if you were watching earlier, there was an alarm that went off. It was just a drill,’ she told viewers.

‘But my co-host Karl has decided to evacuate the building anyway. Anything for an early pass, right? Where is he? We’ve sent our team out to look for him.’

Karl was then seen hiding underneath a desk covered in artificial greenery.

‘Unlike you all I take workplace health and safety very seriously,’ he said before Sarah joked: ‘I think the biggest threat to the newsroom is you, Karl.’
