Last Monday a fire broke out in the in the female toilets of the Harrogate branch of Asda. This activated the building’s sprinkler system, and the fire service were automatically called to the scene.

 Asda’s spokesperson said “Fortunately it was only a small fire in one of the bins in the female toilets. Lucky, no one was hurt, the fire was easily controlled, meaning the store was only closed for a short amount of time. “

Lucida Parkin, 34, mother of 2, was evacuated from the building, “Asda’s staff was helpful and organised. They knew what to do, kept calm and looked after us very well.” 

Asda would like to apologise for the inconvenience and stress caused to the customers. An investigation has been launched.
