ESTEVAN - The Estevan Fire Rescue Service responded to several calls over the last week.
On July 11 at about 1:30 p.m., Estevan firefighters were dispatched to a three-vehicle collision in the central area of the city. Acting Fire Chief Rick Davies said the incident was "fairly minor in nature" and it was quickly determined that no help on behalf of the EFRS was required.
A commercial fire alarm went off on July 13 at about 1:30 a.m. in central Estevan. Crews responded, but it soon was learned that it was a false alarm and no assistance was required.
Later that day, at about 1:30 p.m., another commercial fire alarm had fire crews rushing to the east side of the city. It turned out that the alarm was triggered by excessive smoke produced by cooking. With no emergency and not enough smoke in the building, no further help on behalf of firefighters was needed.
Another commercial fire alarm had firefighters dispatched on July 17 at about 4:30 p.m. Crews headed out to the north end of the city. Once again, it turned out to be a false alarm, and firefighters returned to the station after checking out the situation.
