Yesterday in London England .... Someone sending up smoke signals for Greg Hallett perhaps?
Jessica Gallardo tweeted: "There's a fire alarm and a lot of smoke coming out from Parliament in London."
London Fire told Express.co.uk it is "not something they are aware of" at the moment.
However, she went on to say how she is only going off the alarm and did not see any flames.
She tweeted: "Ok, for everybody asking, I'm going off from what the official alarm stated. I did NOT see any fire."
The Commons told Express.co.uk it was "just steam", but have not explained the reason for the fire alarm sounding.
This comes just days after MPs were warned they will have to move out to allow urgent repairs to the building.
Senior MPs have insisted the repair work should carry on around them but the Restoration and Renewal Sponsor Body said the pandemic has shown sessions can bee carried out by Zoom.
The organisation warned MPs: "The case remains that the Houses of Parliament are falling apart faster than they can be fixed, with maintenance costs rapidly increasing and more than 40,000 problems reported since 2017.
"We must act now to save and protect the building, one of the most recognised in the world, for future generations."
Meg Hillier, the public accountants committee chairwoman, told i: "We've been patching up the building for 40 years now.
"We're just putting good money after bad just to prop it up.
"Further delay would be hugely risky. It could be the next Notre Dame.
"I don't think anyone wants to see the building disintegrate or burn down."
What happened in Notre Dame Paris?
