A statement from the Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service's Market Drayton crew said in a statement: "At 3.13am on Monday the rescue pump from Market Drayton, along with the rescue pump from Audlem (Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service), were both mobilised to a report of the fire alarms sounding at a commercial property in Onneley, near Woore.

"On arrival it was quickly established by the crews that thankfully there was no fire situation.

"Both crews were soon available to attend further incidents if required."
