Boots staff and customers evacuated from High Street store

Staff members and customers were forced to evacuate Boots the Chemist's Exeter High Street store this morning following a fire alarm, which sounded at approximately 10.15am. Initially staff congregated outside Harry's Bar to the rear of the store, but were later moved up to Northernhay Gardens. 

The store was closed for about 20 minutes, and shivering staff members were allowed to return after the fire crew had fully checked the building and were sure it was safe to return.
