Sainsbury’s supermarket on Portswood Road was evacuated today after a fire broke out.
As the Daily Echo reports, firefighters were called to the store at around 1pm after a biomass boiler in the store’s delivery area caught fire.
@sainsburys clueless staff at your Portswood store this lunchtime. Lack of communication and calamity over a minor thing. #embarassing
