ESTEVAN — Estevan fire crews received several calls for service last week, including some about a grass/wildland fire, a power pole fire as well as several alarms.
On Oct. 18 at about 1:30 p.m., firefighters were dispatched to a grass/wildland fire at a property just outside the southeast city limits. Crews spent a few hours on scene, as the fire went through a yard and damaged some property.
While still responding to this call, at about 3 p.m., firefighters were called to a power pole fire occurring east of the city along Highway 39.
"Crews split off in response to that, they extinguished the fire there and were assisting SaskPower," said Estevan Fire Chief Rick Davies.
Both fires were successfully extinguished, and no injuries were reported from either of them.
On Oct. 17 at about 8:30 p.m., firefighters were alerted to a residential fire alarm that went off on the south end of the city. Crews responded and investigated, but couldn't find a reason for the alarm, so it was concluded that there was a fault in the system.
Firefighters were dispatched to another residential fire alarm that went off on Oct. 22 at about 4 p.m. on the northeast side of the city. Crews responded and determined it was cooking related, so their assistance was not required.
