The Kyabram Gifts and Accessories store on Allan St has suffered damage to its roof after a ceiling fan is believed to have caught fire on Saturday night.

Kyabram police and fire services attended the store at approximately 10.15pm on Saturday evening, where five local fire units worked to bring the shop fire under control.

Employees of the store were present at the time and notified authorities.

Leading Senior Constable Ross Adams said an electric fault in the ceiling fan caused a fire which then spread into the ceiling, causing damage to the store’s roof.

There are no suspicious circumstances, and no one was harmed, he said.

The store, along with the adjoining barbershop, remained closed as of Monday.

Allan St was blocked for approximately three hours while fire crews brought the fire under control.
