ESTEVAN — Estevan Fire Rescue Service members dealt with several calls for service last week.

Crews were dispatched to a residential carbon monoxide (CO) alarm that went off in southwest Estevan on March 11 at about 3 p.m. The investigation didn't pick up any CO readings, so a faulty detection device was deemed to be the cause.

On March 13 at about 5 p.m., crews were dispatched to a two-vehicle collision at the Estevan Market Mall's parking lot. Incident command responded and quickly determined that their help wasn't required. Crews stood down, while the incident command assisted the Estevan Police Service in dealing with the vehicles involved.

A commercial fire alarm was triggered in a building in northeast Estevan at about 9 p.m. on March 15. Crews responded and investigated but did not find an emergency occurring or any reasons for the alarm. Firefighters assisted in resetting the alarm before clearing the scene.
