Firefighters gave advice to occupiers of sheltered accommodation in Whitchurch after an aerosol spray set off an automatic fire alarm.

A crew from Whitchurch Fire Station was scrambled to St Johns Park in the town at 8.15pm on Saturday.

When they arrived on the scene they found it had been a false alarm but with good intent. They did not need to use any fire service kit and sent the service stop message at 8.29pm.

Whitchurch's fire crew later tweeted: "On arrival crews found no fire present and alarm caused by occupier using aerosol spray.

"Advice given and the crew made themselves available."
