FIREFIGHTERS have slammed a hoax caller who claimed that a chip pan was on fire in Hollingreave Road, Burnley, at 1am this morning.
The malicious call was made from a phone box and police are now investigating.
Two fire engines from Burnley were sent to scene which left the area without fire cover if a genuine incident had taken place, firefighters said.
