Customers evacuated at Blackpool's Tesco Extra store on Clifton Retail Park at the busiest time of the week
Shoppers were evacuated from one of the Fylde coast’s biggest supermarkets after a fire alarm was triggered in error.
Hundreds of customers were in the Tesco Extra store on the Clifton Retail Park at Mereside when the alarm sounded on Sunday lunchtime - one of the busiest times of the week at the Blackpool premises.
A spokesperson for Tesco said that the store was briefly evacuated after the fire alarm was triggered in error, adding: “This was a false alarm and our Blackpool Clifton Extra store re-opened shortly after.
“The open as usual following a brief closure on Sunday afternoon. We are sorry for the inconvenience.”
