Bedfordshire Fire crews were in attendance at Sainsbury’s in the Saxon Centre, Kempston on Monday (4 July) after a fire broke out.
The store signage and part of the fascia was damaged in the incident and the shop and petrol station were closed until fire teams gave the all-clear.
The fire coincided with the major incident at Redwood Grove off Elstow Road, meaning crews from Biggleswade were deployed.
In a statement, Bedfordshire Fire and Rescue Service said: “An appliance from Biggleswade attended the scene and worked quickly to extinguish the fire.
“The large shop lettering (approx. 75m x 75m) and aluminium cladding was fire damaged. Crews checked the surrounding area for fire spread using a thermal imaging camera. The incident was then handed back to Sainsbury’s management team.”
