One crew from Wellington was sent to the hospital at about 7.45pm on Monday.

On arrival they found the automatic fire alarm had been triggered by smoke from a toaster.

Firefighters stayed in the area for 15 minutes to make sure everything was safe before coming away.

At around the same time, fire crews were sent to the Southwater multi-storey car park, near Telford Shopping Centre.

Somebody had maliciously smashed the 'break glass' panel, triggering the alarm.

Fire crews were sent from Telford Central at about 7.50pm. They left 15 minutes later.
