ESTEVAN — Estevan Fire Rescue Service members responded to four calls last week.

On Sept. 18, firefighters were called to a residential fire alarm going off on the north side of Estevan. It was quickly determined that the alarm was false in nature and the EFRS' assistance wasn't required.

Later the same day, crews were called to investigate smoke downtown. The investigation showed there was no emergency occurring, and what appeared like smoke turned out to be steam coming from a tar trailer, utilized for roof construction work in the area.

On Sept. 21, a commercial fire alarm went off on the south side of Estevan. It turned out to be cooking-related, and firefighters' assistance wasn't needed.

Another commercial fire alarm went off in a multi-apartment building on the north side of the city on Sept. 24. Firefighters arrived on the scene and found that a pull station was activated by someone. They reset the pull station and the alarm and cleared the scene.
