All safe at The Prospect Centre

The Prospect Centre in Hull was evacuated on this afternoon, but shoppers were allowed to return at 2:10pm

Several witnesses report no audible alarm but Humberside Fire and Rescue responded speedily to an alarm on their system, and three fire appliances arrived soon after the evacuation.

After investigation, an overheated light fitting was discovered as having caused the incident.

Mary Vickers moved to North East Lincolnshire in 2010, from the Wiltshire/Hampshire border, to become Urban and Industrial Chaplain NELincs. Made redundant in 2017, she's maintained many of her connections within the business, faith, and other local communities. She's also decided to stay here rather than return to either the south or her husband's native Yorkshire, so that she can continue to enjoy and help promote the positives of NELincs.
