Firefighters rush to 'false alarm' reporting people inside a burning house after call thought to be 'malicious'
A 'false alarm' reporting people inside a burning house saw firefighters rush to the scene.
Three fire crews rushed to Magnolia Close in Bomere Heath, Shrewsbury, at 8.42pm on Monday evening after a call reported a house fire with people inside.
Firefighters from Baschurch and Shrewsbury stations attended the scene, alongside an operations officer.
But upon arrival, crews found the report to be a false alarm - one they believed to have been 'malicious'.
The teams spent around 20 minutes dealing with the incident, reporting it to be closed just after 9pm.
