Guests say despite there being a fire in a high rise, for the most part, no one seemed to panic and the evacuation went smoothly. A woman from Portland Oregon here to run a half marathon Saturday says she just checked into the 11th floor when she heard the alarm.

"We're like oh my god! This is an alarm. We got to get out of here. So we went down the stairs and came out and looked around and went ok, wow!" said Kathy of Portland.

No injuries have been reported but a few people were checked out by EMSA for smoke inhalation.  Tulsa Fire Department says the fire was put out quickly.
