ESTEVAN - The Estevan fire department was called out twice in the past couple of days.
On Tuesday at about 5:30 p.m., a commercial fire alarm went off in the south-central area of Estevan. Shortly after, it was found that the incident was cooking-related and wasn't an emergency. With not enough smoke remaining in the building, there was no need for ventilation efforts on behalf of firefighters, and crews returned to the station.
On Wednesday, at about 11:30 p.m., fire crews were alerted again, this time by a carbon monoxide alarm that went off in a cabin at Boundary Dam.
"Prior to arriving on the scene, we got confirmation from the homeowner that it was a dead battery that they were trying to change when the alarm had gone off. So crews stood down and returned to the station," said Estevan Fire Chief Dale Feser
