Fire crews called after fears hot air balloon crash landed in Shropshire
Seven fire engines and an ambulance were called to a field in north Shropshire last night after fears a hot air balloon had crash landed.
Emergency services were called to the site on Marsh Lane in Cheswardine, near Market Drayton at about 8.20pm on Thursday.
But on arrival, the fire fighters found it had been a false alarm reported with good intent – a safe landing had been carried out and no services were needed.
Crews left the scene at 8.45pm.
