Henry Winkler evacuated from hotel room after mistaking fire alarm for radio

Henry Winkler was evacuated from his Dublin hotel room after he mistook the hotel's fire alarm for a radio during a fire: 'It was an amazing adventure right here in Dublin.'

The Happy Days actor, 78, likely gave on-scene reporters the surprise of their lives when he stopped to speak with them about the incident, which took place at the Shelbourne hotel near the town’s city center. RTÉ News reports that the brigade quickly contained the blaze, which they believe started on the hotel’s roof space, and there were no sustained injuries. He previously found himself weighing in on plans to expand London's Heathrow Airport as part of a BBC News poll back in 2013.
