No damages, animals are now 'playing'

Syracuse's zoo delayed opening by about 40 minutes, because a power outage triggered the fire alarm system.
People lined up to see the 'squishing of the squash' saw firefighters on the roof, checking to make sure all was safe. It was.
On opening, zoo staffers began distributing the pumpkin treats to the exhibits. They caught up with the schedule fairly quickly, with the last of the pumpkins to be set out, about 3pm. It's all free to watch with zoo admission.
