A fire in the toilets at Kingaroy Shoppingworld forced the evacuation of the centre on Saturday afternoon.

The Kingaroy Fire Brigade was called to the centre about 3:50pm.

QFRS Kingaroy Station officer Bruce Groer said someone had set alight a toilet roll in a plastic toilet roll holder inside the men’s toilets at the northern end of the building.

This had created thick, black smoke and the safest thing was to evacuate the building.

Staff were allowed to re-enter the building about 4:30pm.
