A REFRIGERATOR fire at a Tesco Express sparked an emergency callout this afternoon (Thursday).
Two fire crews from Newport and a single fire crew from Shanklin were called to the scene at Tesco Express in Wootton at around 2.45pm.
They were responding to a report of an overheated refrigerator and the building has been evacuated.
Firefighters isolated the electric and carried out positive pressure ventilation.
A single crew remains at the scene and the store remains closed.
No injuries have been reported.
UPDATE: The store remains closed this evening due to "a technical fault", a sign on the door says.
