A RESTAURANT in St Albans was evacuated last night after an electrical fault sparked a blaze in a sunbed room at the gym upstairs.

Diners at Wagamamas were rushed out after firefighters were called, just before 10pm, to extinguish the fire at Fitness First in Christopher Place.

An electrical fault is thought to have sparked the fire on a sunbed and the restaurant was cleared out due to possible water damage while the blaze was being put out.
