ESTEVAN - Estevan fire crews responded to two calls over the past few days.
Tuesday morning, firefighters were dispatched to a vehicle collision that occurred at the intersection of 13th Avenue and King Street at about 8 a.m. Estevan Police Service (EPS) was already on scene. Firefighters brought the rescue truck to provide fluid clean-up and vehicle isolation as the airbags were deployed.
EMS treated and released one driver who was injured as a result of the collision.
"After the fluid cleanups and the vehicle isolation, the scene was turned back over to the Estevan city police to continue to investigate the cause of the collision," said Estevan Fire Chief Dale Feser.
On Wednesday at about 7 p.m., fire crews responded to a residential fire alarm that went off in the northcentral area of the city.
"Crews were updated just as we were arriving on scene that it was a cooking-related incident. So we did make contact with the homeowners and confirmed that in this case, they were actually steaming some food for supper when it set off the fire alarm system," Feser said. "The homeowners were reminded to ensure that they are the first point of contact in the event of initiation of the monitoring smoke alarm system in their house, and crews returned to station."
The recent strong winds didn't result in any emergencies in the area. Feser noted that SaskPower took an aggressive approach on preventative measures last summer and cut all trees and branches that potentially could cause issues.
