ESTEVAN — Estevan Fire Rescue Service members responded to a carbon monoxide leak last week.
A residential CO alarm went off in a building at about 11 a.m. on Dec. 4. Crews responded and investigated. They found elevated levels of carbon monoxide in the structure, so firefighters ventilated it down to safe levels. SaskEnergy was called in to further investigate the cause of the leak.
Earlier the same day, crews were called to a motor vehicle collision on the east side of the city. The Estevan Police Service was already at the scene, and it was soon determined that the EFRS assistance wasn't required, so they stood down and returned to the station.
On Dec. 9, firefighters also partook in the Miracle on Fourth in downtown Estevan, where they were collecting toys for the Estevan Community Hamper Association's Angel Tree program. This year marked the first time the EFRS moved their Stuff the Truck toy drive location from Canadian Tire to Fourth Street.
