Jacksonville, FL — Jacksonville International Airport has reopened Concourse A following an earlier fire on a moving walkway.
No injuries were reported but smoke forced passengers to evacuate to Concourse C. The security checkpoint was closed for about one hour until the smoke cleared.
A spokesperson for the Jacksonville Aviation Authority says passengers should check with their airline about possible delays.
