ESTEVAN — The Estevan Fire Rescue Service responded to a grass fire and alarms last week.
Fire crews were dispatched to a fire occurring on the northwest side of the city on Oct. 17 at around 10:30 a.m. Firefighters confirmed that a small grass fire was occurring. Crews extinguished the fire. No injuries or damage were reported.
Earlier last week, firefighters were dispatched for a residential fire alarm in the northwest area on Oct. 16 just after 9:30 a.m. Crews investigated and quickly determined it was a false alarm, so their assistance was not required.
On Oct. 18 just before 11 a.m., members were dispatched to a commercial fire alarm in the south end of the city. An investigation showed the alarm was not fire-related but due to carbon monoxide. Further inspection didn't find any issues, so it was deemed to be a possible issue with the alarm system.
A few minutes later, a commercial fire alarm went off in the south-central area. Crews investigated the scene and determined that the alarm was due to cooking in the building. Firefighters assisted with resetting the alarm and making sure all was well.
On Oct. 19 just after 1 a.m., a residential fire alarm was triggered in the north-central area. Crews investigated, determined that the alarm was a cooking-related issue as well, and confirmed that their assistance was not required.
Wrapping up the week, on Oct. 20 at around 6:30 p.m., Estevan firefighters were dispatched to a commercial fire alarm in the northwest area. While they were responding, it was confirmed that the alarm was due to an accidental activation of a pull station, so crews stood down.
