A garda station in Galway was evacuated on Friday evening due to a burst pipe.
The alarm was raised just after 4pm and everyone was taken out of the building safely.
The building is central to district, divisional and regional garda activity.
Opened last summer, it includes secure detention areas and a purpose built firing range.
The centre housed a control room serving the Western Region, dispatching units to towns in Galway, Mayo, Roscommon, Longford and Clare.
