Mohammad Sami, the Pakistan fast bowler, told how he ran down a corridor to escape from the building after seeing smoke in the hallway on the sixth floor. "I was on the sixth floor when a security man came to my room and asked me to vacate the hotel," he told AFP. "I saw a lot of smoke coming out from the corridor so I ran down." Four fire engines arrived at the scene but as yet it is unclear whether they were called into action. No official comment was immediately available. The two teams were among 150 people who had to file out of their Hilton hotel as they were having breakfast. Two more of the World Cup teams are staying at the hotel, Ireland and Canada, but the squads had left earlier for practice. Pakistan captain Inzamam ul-Haq was unfazed by the evacuation, saying he had been told that the team had had to leave the hotel "as a precautionary measure". The evacuees were all moved away to a safer location. <img src="http://www.cricinfo.com/db/PICTURES/CMS/72500/72523.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Mohammad Yousuf, Shoaib Malik, Mohammad Hafeez and Kamran Akmal sit outside their hotel after a fire alarm, Port-of-Spain, March 7, 2007.<img src="http://www.cricinfo.com/db/PICTURES/CMS/72500/72524.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Inzamam and Shahid Afridi outside the hotel after a fire alarm scare, Port-of-Spain, March 7, 2007.<img src="http://www.cricinfo.com/db/PICTURES/CMS/72500/72527.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Shaun Pollock takes a breather after the South Africa and Pakistan teams were evacuated from their hotel, Port of Spain, 7 March 2007© Cricinfo</blockquote>
