It all began around 8 o'clock Monday morning when the problem was discovered, forcing the evacuation of the entire building -- and it's a big one. Fort Lewis and Steilacoom sent over police and fire assistance to help out the Dupont Fire Department in the evacuation.

But the workers at State Farm say they drill constantly for just this sort of emergency. They automatically forward all insurance business to their facilities in Oregon so that customers aren't impacted.

All 1,000 employees were sent home with instructions to check back at 12:30 to see if the problem has been cleared. The fire department then traced the source of the leak to a boiler in the boiler room. It was repaired and the evacuation ended just after 11 a.m.

No one was injured.
