A Pakenham shopping centre has been evacuated following reports of a fire.

Three CFA crews responded to a tripped smoke alarm at Pakenham Central Marketplace at around 12.18pm on Tuesday 26 February.

A CFA spokesperson said often when a fire indicator panel goes off it’s usually a false alarm, however firefighters are assessing the situation.

The Gazette will provide further updates when they become available.
