Fire engines have been spotted outside a city centre supermarket this evening.

Two fire engines have been seen on Western Esplanade at around 7.20pm on Friday night - next to Southampton coach station and outside the rear of the Asda superstore.

Firefighters were seen walking around the area but did not seem in any great hurry, described as "very casual" by one eyewitness.

Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service has been contacted for more information.
