ESTEVAN — The Estevan Fire Rescue Service's crews responded to a number of calls in mid-February.
Firefighters were called to conduct an odour investigation in a building in northwest Estevan on Feb. 17. Crews went through the building but didn't pick up any readings and couldn't find anything causing any odd odours.
A call for an elevator rescue came on Feb. 18. A hockey team overloaded an elevator in a building on the east side of the city, which caused it to be stuck. Crews were able to open the elevator and let everybody out without any incidents.
On Feb. 20, a commercial fire alarm went off on the south side of the city. Responding crews soon found that there was no emergency occurring, and the alarm was caused by contractors working on the site.
Firefighters were called to investigate the smell of smoke in northwest Estevan on Feb. 21. Nothing was found upon arrival, and the responders concluded there was an issue with a furnace, so they advised the homeowners to call a plumber.
The next day, the crews were called out to a report of a gas leak on the north side of the city. No gas was found in the building. SaskEnergy attended the scene, and it was turned over to them for further investigation.
A single-vehicle accident occurred on Feb. 24 on Souris Avenue. Crews responded, cleaned up debris and disabled the vehicle battery.
