Estevan fire crews responded to a couple of fire alarms over the past few days.

ESTEVAN - The Estevan Fire Rescue Service had a week of a breather with just a few calls on the agenda recently.

On June 22 at about 11 a.m., fire crews responded to a commercial fire alarm that went off in central Estevan. Once on scene, firefighters found that a faulty detection device triggered the call. With no emergency occurring, the scene was turned back over to the building managers.

Another commercial fire alarm went off just outside the city limits in the afternoon on June 23. Crews responded to find that it was also a faulty detection device. The maintenance staff was advised to have the fire alarm panel inspected and fixed.

On June 21 and 22, the fire station also had young visitors from St. Mary's School. Kindergarten students came over to tour the station under firefighters' guidance.
