Security Alert that took place at 7pm this evening

Posted by Liz Dance on 14/8/2026, 9:01 pm

Did any of you receive the security alert this evening, it gave me such a shock I couldn’t work out what was happening then realised it was my phone making the noise. I tried to enter my PIN number but I couldn’t believe that by doing that the security alert disappeared, it was only later by Googling that I was able to read what the alert had said - how crazy is that, imagine a really severe emergency and the message disappears??

It must have been a terrible shock Tina to have that noise when you were driving?

We live in Herefordshire we have only had a little bit of rain in months the ground is so dry, last night we could smell smoke my husband and a couple of neighbours were out looking to see if they could spot anything, a copse that was just beyond a farm looked like it had smoke coming from it, thankfully it wasn’t a problem, but we did find out why we were smelling smoke, apparently an area about 6 or 7 mikes from us had caught fire and the smoke was drifting towards us, paranoia has definitely taken route now!!
