The Pride Hill Shopping Centre

The Pride Hill Shopping Centre in Shrewsbury was closed yesterday when the alarm was sounded at about 8pm.

Two fire crews attended from Shrewsbury's station and Baschurch, and the officers found that there was no cause for alarm.

Then, soon after 5am today, another alarm went off at the shopping centre. Two fire engines attended from Shrewsbury.

They reported that it was another false alarm, caused by a fault in the system.
