A supermarket in Costa Teguise was evacuated yesterday after a strong smell of gas was reported.
Firemen ordered the evacuation of the Hiperdino Express supermarket at the Las Cucharas Shopping Centre at 12.50 after detecting high levels of carbon monoxide in the air. A member of staff later said that an interruptor switch had tripped, shutting off light to the refrigeration system.
After ventilating the premises and checking the air quality, the supermarket was allowed to re-open.
