ESTEVAN -- Estevan Fire Rescue Service members were called to a report of a vehicle fire on Feb. 4.

The call came at about 2:20 a.m. from the central area of the city. A small fire occurred on a piece of construction equipment. The fire was contained by arriving Estevan Police Service members with the help of a fire extinguisher.

"EFR crews arrived and confirmed fire extinguishment. Minor damage to the equipment. No injuries reported. The fire is under investigation," said Estevan Fire Chief Rick Davies.

Earlier last week, firefighters also responded to a two-vehicle collision in northeast Estevan. The call came in around 11 a.m. on Jan. 30. Crews responded and determined that it was a minor incident with no injuries. They assisted with fluid spill cleanup and then returned to the station.

On Feb. 1 around 8 p.m., the EFRS members were dispatched for a smoke investigation on the northeast side of the city. Crews responded, investigated and quickly determined no emergency was occurring. Smoke in the area was from a residential fireplace, said Davies.

The next call for service came on Feb. 2 at about 5:40 p.m. A commercial fire alarm in the northwest area went off. Crews responded and determined the alarm was activated due to a pull station being bumped. Firefighters assisted with resetting the alarm.
