ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) – The all-clear has been given at a US Army installation in eastern Georgia after it was shut down Saturday morning.

The Facebook page for Fort Eisenhower in the Augusta area issued the lockdown notice at 8:51 a.m., telling those “at risk” to take immediate action.

The post did not mention the reason for the shutdown.

At 9:49 a.m., Fort Eisenhower officials said in another Facebook post that the “dangerous event is over” and the lockdown was lifted.

“All personnel may resume normal operations at this time,” said the post, which did not specify what the hazardous event was.

Fort Eisenhower, formerly known as Fort Gordon and Camp Gordon, was established southwest of Augusta in October 1941.
