ESTEVAN — Estevan Fire Rescue Service members were kept busy with a variety of calls over the weekend.
On Nov. 30 just after 6 p.m., crews were dispatched to a two-vehicle collision north of Estevan on Highway 47. Estevan Fire Chief Rick Davies said no entrapment was reported, and one occupant had unknown injuries and was assisted and transported by Estevan EMS. Firefighters assisted with cleanup and traffic control, while the vehicles were removed from the scene.
Just as they were finishing up with that call, another call came in just after 8 p.m. Members were dispatched to a vehicle fire occurring in the central part of the city.
"On arrival, crews found a fully involved vehicle, which was noted to be threatening a home and the second vehicle parked beside it," Davies said.
"Crews were able to quickly bring that fire under control and contain to the vehicle involved.
"The vehicle involved suffered significant damage. The second vehicle and the home suffered minor damages, and there were no injuries reported from that incident," he concluded.
The cause of the vehicle fire is under investigation.
The third call for service came in a little later, just before 9 p.m., when a commercial fire alarm went off in the central part of the city. The duty officer responded, investigated and determined there was no emergency occurring, and it was believed to be a faulty detector. Property maintenance was contacted to further investigate.
On Dec. 1, at about 1:30 p.m., another commercial fire alarm went off in the central part of the city. Crews responded, investigated, and confirmed the alarm was due to a cooking-related incident, so their assistance was not required.
