No cause for alarm as fire crews turn up at Royal Bolton Hospital
Fire crews attended the Farnworth-based hospital just after 11am on Thursday, but fortunately there was no incident, with a fire spokesman saying it was a “routine call-out for a fire alarm”.
Firefighters were only on the scene for 15 minutes.
The hospital confirmed the attendance of the firefighters was routine and there was no incident or issues.
Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service say that all homes should have a working smoke alarm on every level of the home and a heat alarm in the kitchen area.
Smoke alarms should be tested every month.
Those eligible for a Home Fire Safety Assessment visit from Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service may have a free smoke alarm fitted depending on the fire risk.
More information on the fire services can be found on the GMFRS website
