ESTEVAN — Estevan firefighters were called to three potential emergencies last week. Fortunately, none of the incidents turned out to be serious.
Crews were dispatched to the central area of the city for a report of a possible structure fire on April 17 at about 7 p.m. No fire was noted at the time of arrival. Upon investigation, firefighters found that one of the condos in the building was having issues with a dryer, said Estevan Fire Chief Rick Davies. Crews investigated and inspected to ensure everything was fine in the building and then returned to the station.
On April 22 at about 12.45 p.m., crews were dispatched to another possible structure fire in the north-central part of the city. Firefighters responded, investigated and confirmed that no fire and no emergency was happening. They talked to the tenants of that building and then returned to the station.
April 23 at about 1:30 a.m., crews responded to a call from a building in the central part of Estevan where a noxious odour was reported. Upon arrival, members found a chemical spilled in the hallway of the building that was giving off noxious fumes. Firefighters ventilated the building, assisted with spill clean up and made sure everything was safe.
