Firefighters have hit out at hoaxers who called them out to five false alarms over the weekend.
Southend fire crews were infuriated by the 999 calls, all made from a mobile phone to the town's Kursaal estate, between 7pm and 9pm on Friday night. Now officers are hoping to put a stop to the mischief makers who they say are putting lives at risk.
