Firefighters from Temple Fire Station will be carrying out an exercise this evening (Monday 24 November) in the basement of Cabot Circus in Bristol city centre.

The exercise, which will take place from 18:00 hours, is designed to further prepare and familiarise crews with the skills and knowledge of the new shopping complex in the event of a real incident.

Avon Fire & Rescue Service would like to reassure people that this is an exercise and not a real emergency. There may be slight disruption in the area around the shopping complex, but the service will be working with Avon and Somerset Constabulary to ensure any disruption will be minimal.
