Smoke from 'unattended candle' causes house fire scare in Shrewsbury
Smoke from an 'unattended candle' caused a fire scare in Shrewsbury - prompting fire fighters from the town to give advice to the owners.
Two fire crews from the county town's fire station were scrambled to reports of a house fire in Sambrook Close, at 9.29pm on Thursday.
But when they arrived on the scene they found it was a false alarm.
A spokesman for Shropshire Fire & Rescue said: "This incident was a false alarm involving an unattended candle setting of the smoke alarms within the property. Advice given."
The crews' stop message was sent just over a quarter of an hour later at 9.45pm.
