DANIA BEACH, Fla. -- Some early-morning flights out of Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport may be delayed thanks to a broken sprinkler head.

Miami television station WTVJ ( http://bit.ly/12t6mWi) reports the incident occurred about 5 a.m. Thursday in the airport's Terminal 1.

Airport spokesman Greg Meyer says concourses B and C were briefly evacuated. Airlines operating out of Terminal 1 include Allegiant, Frontier, Southwest, Air Tran and United.

While workers were able to get the situation under control, Meyer says some morning flights could be delayed.
