ESTEVAN - The Estevan Fire Rescue Service dealt with a motorcycle fire, collision, elevator entrapment and alarms last week.
On Aug. 27 at about 7:40 p.m., crews were alerted to a motorcycle fire in the southeast area of the city. Firefighters responded, but the Estevan police arrived first and were able to halt the fire with a fire extinguisher. Firefighters cleaned up the scene and ensured that the fire was out. No injuries were reported.
A few minutes after they arrived to that scene, they were dispatched to an elevator rescue, which occurred at a building they were right in front of. Crews made their way over there and dealt with that incident without any issues.
Earlier the same day, at about 6 a.m., crews were dispatched for a commercial fire alarm in northeast Estevan. It was quickly determined that there were ongoing issues with the detection system and no emergency was occurring.
A little bit later that morning, firefighters responded to a commercial fire alarm on the northwest side of the city, but were quickly alerted that it was due to maintenance work at the site and no emergency was occurring as well.
On Aug. 30 at around 10 a.m., crews were dispatched to a two-vehicle collision on the northeast side of the city. Firefighters responded, but Estevan Fire Chief Rick Davies said the accident was fairly minor in nature, and their assistance was not required, so they stood down and returned to the station.
Firefighters also responded to the collision that occurred Friday night on the Estevan truck bypass north of the city. No further details were immediately available.
