ESTEVAN - Estevan Fire Rescue Service members responded to a couple of accidents last week.
On Nov. 16 at around 11 a.m., crews were dispatched to a single-vehicle rollover approximately 10 kilometres north of Estevan. No entrapment or injuries were reported. Firefighters assisted on scene with the occupants and traffic until it was cleared up.
Earlier last week, the EFRS was dispatched to a two-vehicle collision in the north-central part of the city on Nov. 13 at about 9.15 p.m. Crews responded and quickly determined the incident was fairly minor and their assistance was not required.
On Nov. 12 just before 8.30 p.m., firefighters were dispatched to a commercial carbon monoxide alarm in central Estevan. Since crews were out doing some training, they were quick to respond to investigate. Upon arrival, members recorded small amounts of CO in the building, so crews worked to ventilate it out. Estevan Fire Chief Rick Davies said the cause wasn't determined at the time, so there was supposed to be some further investigation. There were no reports of illness or injuries.
On Nov. 15 just before noon, firefighters were requested for a smoke investigation west of the city. An on-call duty officer responded to investigate while crews remained on standby. The smoke was located, and it was determined to be a small controlled burn, occurring out in the country, so firefighters' assistance was not required.
On Nov. 17 at about 2.30 p.m., a residential fire alarm went off in the northwest part of the city. While responding, firefighters were updated that it was confirmed false with the homeowners, so they stood down.
