Fire engines rush to Marsden House in Bolton after false alarm
Safety precautions were undertaken and several fire engines were despatched to the scene, only to discover it was a false alarm.
According to on-site firefighters, the alarm is thought to have been caused by a malfunction in the comms room smoke detector.
Firefighters have since worked to disable the alarm while residents wait to re-enter the building, although workers did note that fixing fire panels is not usually within their remit.
Despite the false alarm being raised in this case, members of the public have been encouraged to always call 999 in the event of an emergency as soon as it is safe to do so.
