Fire
At around 07:45 on the morning of Saturday 15 November 2008 a vehicle operated by Gist was making an early morning food delivery to the Marks and Spencer store at the White Rose Centre, shortly after arrival the cab of the vehicle caught fire. This fire soon grew out of control and forced the evacuation of the Marks and Spencer store and the adjoining service area, as the vehicle burnt it ejected several violent fire balls, which caused visible heat and smoke damage to the front of the building. As a result of this fire the Marks and Spencer store had very limited stock for the rest of the day and the service area was blocked for several hours, causing disruption to other stores in the White Rose Centre.
