FIREFIGHTERS in Burnley have warned about the dangers of making malicious calls.
Crews were called out to a rubbish fire in Daneshouse Road at 9pm on Sunday, then called twice again by the same number at 20 minute intervals, but no fires were in the area.
Crew manager Rick Courtney said: “When people make malicious calls it means that we can’t respond to real emergencies.”
