‘Full Evacuation of Wrexham Job Centre’ – Fire Service in Attendance

Fire fighters this afternoon attended an incident at the Wrexham Job Centre.

Two crews from Wrexham and an ambulance were called to the Job Centre on Grosvenor Road, Wrexham shortly after 4pm.

The Job Centre was evacuated with large crowds seen congregating on Grosvenor Road.

A spokesperson for Welsh Ambulance Service said: We had a call from North Wales Fire and Rescue Service at about 4.10pm to reports of a small fire at the Job Centre on Grosvenor Road, Wrexham.

“An emergency ambulance is currently in attendance at the scene.”

One person told us at the scene: “The fire alarm sounded so there was a full prompt evacuation of all staff. We do not know what has happened.”

Although fire crews accessed a hydrant in the road and were equipped with breathing apparatus, it did appear more precautionary.

A spokesperson for North Wales Fire and Rescue Service has since confirmed there was no fire at the property and was due to ‘steam’ from a tank in the property.
