FIREFIGHTERS rushed to a Hampshire shop after reports of an 'overheated' cash register.

The incident took place at One Stop in Gosport Road Fareham.

Three crews rushed to the alarm, which was raised around 8.10am today (Saturday, October 13).

But a spokesperson for Hampshire Fire and Rescue said the incident was a 'false alarm with good intent'.

Crews left the scene just eight minutes later, at 8.18am.
