Firefighters were called to Ludlow Hospital this afternoon after smoke from a blown lighting unit set off the fire alarm.
A crew from Ludlow Fire Station inspected the area with a thermal camera and confirmed there was no fire.
The incident was declared a false alarm, and crews left the scene shortly after 1pm.
Sheds housing nearly 200,000 broiler chickens at a Herefordshire farm are to be demolished and rebuilt to a higher standard.
A planning application by Avara Foods, one of the county’s largest employers, says the replacement sheds at Parkway Farm, Madley west of Hereford would have the same footprint as the current eight within the two-hectare site, and “will not result in any increase in floor area, bird numbers, or operational intensity”.
