Crews called to double fire alert at Burnham-On-Sea hospital

Fire crews were called to Burnham-On-Sea hospital twice in the space of an hour on Saturday evening (April 28th).

Three engines rushed to the main hospital building in Love Lane after a fire alarm was heard by anxious staff.

On investigation, the teams found no sign of smoke or fire and the alert was blamed on a false alarm.

Minutes later, though, at 6.15pm, another alarm sounded in the adjacent Peter Holmes Annexe next door to the hospital in Love Lane.

Two engines were sent back to the scene - only for the incident to be quickly scaled down when no sign of a fire was found.
