ESTEVAN - Members of the Estevan Fire Rescue Service had a busy week, with three calls on Nov. 7 alone, and a couple of reported structure fires.
Fire crews were called to a reported collision south of the city on Nov. 7. An accident did not occur. According to Deputy Fire Chief Kyle Luc, somebody’s phone accidentally called 911.
In the afternoon, there was a two-vehicle collision on the north side of the city. Upon arrival, Luc said the fire department found out their services weren’t required.
That night, they were called to a reported structure fire in east Estevan.
“It was determined that it was a cooking incident and there was a small fire that was in an oven that was already extinguished when crews got on scene,” said Luc.
Early on Nov. 8, firefighters were called to a commercial fire alarm in south Estevan. No emergency was occurring, so firefighters reset the alarm panel.
Crews were called to a reported two-vehicle collision in west Estevan on Nov. 9. They were told their services were not needed while en route.
Two days later, they were called to another reported structure fire at a north Estevan apartment complex. It was determined to be a cooking incident, so crews ventilated the building and returned to the fire hall.
On Nov. 12, they were called to another reported structure fire on the west end.
“There was some smoke in the residence, and it ended up being an issue with the furnace that was quickly resolved," he said.
