AROUND 15 firefighters were called out to a flat in Kidderminster only to find the shout was a false alarm.

Crews from Kidderminster, Stourport and Bewdley responded to a report of a flat fire in Broad Street at around 9.20pm last night (Friday, April 28).

But when they got there, they established there was no fire. It is thought a boiler exhaust vent may have prompted the call out.
