Light fittings cause Kmart fire

Kmart in Bunbury was forced to close for a few hours on Saturday afternoon after one of the light fittings in the store caught fire.

Firefighters from the Bunbury Fire Station and volunteers were sent to the scene but found the fire had already been extinguished by staff.

A Kmart spokeswoman said the store was closed for four hours and there was minor damage.

Shoppers in the store were evacuated but the spokeswoman described it as a minor incident.

She said the light fittings were set to be replaced.
