FIREFIGHTERS from two stations in Whitchurch were sent to a false alarm in the early hours of Friday.
One crew from Whitchurch was joined by Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) colleagues from Prees at a call for Newbrook Close at around 2.25am.
A SFRS spokesman said the call out proved to be a false alarm.
