Wasilla's Fred Meyer store was evacuated Sunday afternoon due to a suspected electrical fire in the men's restroom, a Matanuska-Susitna Borough official said Sunday.
As of about 2 p.m. the store, located near the intersection of the Parks Highway and Palmer-Wasilla Highway had been cleared of customers due to smoke, according to Ken Barkley, Mat-Su's deputy director of emergency services.
The fire is believed to have been contained to a wall inside the men's bathroom, Barkley said.
"Store employees tried to extinguish it but now there are (fire) crews on scene," he said.
