Crews scramble to village on English/Welsh border to reports of barn on fire with livestock inside
Multiple fire crews scrambled to a village near the English/Welsh border after reports of a barn fire.
The Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service received a call at 8.50pm last night (April 22) reporting a fire that was coming from a barn that had livestock inside, in Maesbrook near Llanymynech.
Two fire crews including the light pumping unit, the rescue tender and water carrier were sent from Baschurch and Oswestry to the scene.
However, upon arrival crews found the incident to be a false alarm and the fire to be a controlled burn.
Advice was given to the property's occupiers.
