All three 999 services called out after mobile phone battery goes flat (Image: Newsquest)
ALL three emergency services were called out last night to a York property - after someone's mobile phone battery went flat.
North Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service said its Huntington crew responded to a request from police to gain access for the ambulance service to a property in New Earswick at 8.30pm.
This followed a call from a concerned family member, whose telephone call to the occupant had suddenly ended, with no further response to subsequent calls.
It said this turned out to be a false alarm with good intent – 'cause: flat battery on phone.'
