North Battleford Fire Department says a water pressure fluctuation resulted in false fire alarms at NationsWEST Field House and Battlefords Aquatic Centre Thursday.

NBFD responded to an alarm at the field house at about 12:45 p.m. When firefighters arrived they found alarms were also sounding in the aquatic centre.

According to NBFD the pressure fluctuation caused the sprinkler system to sense flow and set off the alarm.

Firefighters were on the scene for about 20 minutes.

NBFD also responded to a two-vehicle crash at the intersection of 13th Avenue and 103rd Street Thursday at about 11:20 a.m.

Minor injuries were reported, but one of the vehicles sustained extensive damage. Firefighters cleaned up antifreeze and accident debris on the roadway.
