False alarms

Published on 14th June 2007 in News

Controlled burning on Low Street in Swinefleet was mistaken for an emergency on Tuesday morning.

Firefighters attended and recorded the call as a false alarm with good intent.

Crews from Goole and Howden also went to Hygena at Howden shortly before 1am yesterday (Wednesday) and found it to be a false alarm.
