ESTEVAN - Estevan firefighters had a bit of a breather with no calls for service over the August long weekend and a few in the following days.
The first call came in the middle of one night. At about 4 a.m. on Aug. 4, fire crews responded to a commercial fire alarm going off in the south end of the city. Specialists investigated but didn't find any reasons for the alarm. They reset the panel and cleared the scene.
Another commercial fire alarm had a duty officer responding on Aug. 6 at about 8 p.m. The pull station was manually activated in a building at the north end of the city. The investigation didn't give any results and no emergency was occurring. The pull station was reset and the scene was cleared.
On Aug. 4, just after 10 p.m. fire crews also responded to a two-vehicle collision south of Estevan. They assisted other emergency services, spending a little more than an hour on scene.
