Reports of a garden fire in the Highlands turned out to be a false alarm with good intentions.
A crew from Beauly were sent out to the town after a member of the public contacted the service at 5.40pm reporting they had “heard a bang”.
The spokesman said: “The crew were stood down shortly after arrival after it was established that the incident was a false alarm.
“The call was made with good intention and our crew stood down at 5.55pm.”
