Fyshwick store evacuated Customers and staff were evacuated from a Fyshwick retail outlet this afternoon after the presence of smoke.

The ACT Fire Brigade were called to WOW Sight and Sound after receiving an automatic fire alarm at 1:34.

Several fire crews arrived a few minutes later.

Firefighters investigated and found the smoke was coming from an malfunctioning electrical transformer.

The building was ventilated then people were permitted back inside.

The Dark said :

Isn’t that the reason they moved the store out of Civic in the first place?

Some sort of fire a few years back

There was never a WOW in Canberra before this one moved out to Fyshwick?
