ESTEVAN — Estevan Fire Rescue Service members responded to a mutual aid call by the Bienfait Fire Department on March 23.

A garage caught fire in the Town of Bienfait. The report of an emergency came in just after 7:30 a.m. The EFRS sent a crew and an engine to assist the neighbouring fire department with containing and extinguishing the fire.

Estevan Fire Chief Rick Davies said that according to his information, no injuries were reported from the incident and the fire was contained to the inside of the garage.

Earlier last week, firefighters were called to a commercial fire alarm that went off in central Estevan at around 8:30 a.m. on March 18. While crews were responding, it was confirmed that it was a false alarm. Crews stood down, but incident command attended the scene to ensure there indeed was no emergency.

On March 21 at about 8:30 a.m., the fire department received a phone call about a burning smell in a commercial property in the central part of the city. Incident command responded and investigated but did not find a reason for the smell.
