Shoppers evacuated at Fyshwick furniture shop

A furniture shop in Fyshwick has closed after reports of a gas smell in the building.

Fire and rescue officers attended the scene at Fantastic Furniture on Albany Street, Fyshwick to investigate the cause of the smell.

They found it was caused by a fault in the air conditioning system.

Control of the building has been handed back to the shop managers to get the system repaired.

The hazmat incident was reported to the Emergency Services Agency just before midday on Sunday, March 12.
