Shoppers were forced to evacuate a large supermarket store after a fire was discovered. The Asda store in Newton Abbot, South Devon was closed for more than two hours on Thursday evening after smoke was seen coming from the plant room. Crews discovered a smoke-filled first-floor room, caused by a fire in the electrical plant room involving electrical contact breakers. Darren Ridout, manager at the store, said: "It was a textbook evacuation."
