Estevan fire crews had a couple of calls for service in recent days.

The most urgent situation occurred on Friday, when a child came to the fire station asking for help with a sibling who was trapped in a vehicle.

The young girl said her little brother got locked in a vehicle and they needed help getting him out. The incident occurred at the Dennis Moore Centennial Park parking lot, right across the street from the fire station.

"There was a mother that was waving. We went over there and indeed there was a young child locked in the vehicle. He entered, locked the door and then strapped himself in the seat. Thank goodness, that it wasn't too terribly hot that day," said Estevan Fire Chief Dale Feser.

Firefighters made sure that there was no medical emergency occurring, called the local towing company to come out and properly unlock the vehicle and stayed at the scene unless the child was successfully freed to check up on him before leaving.聽

"With the hot weather that is approaching and the heatwave that we will be experiencing the next couple of weeks, do not hesitate to call us if you have a pet or a child locked in a vehicle. We will come down to offer assistance and help. If an individual or animal is in some sort of distress, we'd want to give them medical attention as soon as possible," Feser said.

The next call for service came at about 5:30 p.m. A residential fire alarm went off in the northwest area of the city. Shortly after, the dispatch advised that it was a cooking-related incident, and no real emergency was occurring.

"We were able to confirm that on scene and stand down all units before they left the station.

"We reminded the homeowners as always to ensure that they are the first priority contact when a fire alarm occurs at their home," Feser said.

There wasn't enough smoke in the building to warrant any ventilation.

On Friday firefighters also responded to a request from Hillcrest School, and came over to spray the kids to cool them down.

"Very well received, it was something that I think the kids have very much enjoyed. And it's nice for us to get out there. Looks like it's a good way to start reopening and getting things back to normal," Feser said.

On Monday fire crews did the same, this time for the Sacred Heart School/脡cole Sacr茅 Coeur students.
