Estevan Fire Rescue Service members were activated twice last Friday due to separate accidents.
The first call came in just after 3 p.m. Firefighters were called out by the Estevan Police Service for a fluid spill clean-up in the southwest part of the city as a result of a two-vehicle collision. The call wasn’t emergent, and fire crews attended to assist with cleaning up the scene after the accident. No injuries were reported.
A few hours later, at about 5:30 p.m., another call related to a vehicle accident came in.
“We were dispatched again to another two-vehicle MVC (motor vehicle collision), this time in the north-central part of the city,” said Estevan Deputy Fire Chief Rick Davies.
By the time EFRS arrived, the EMS was already helping one of the drivers. Even though the collision was minor in nature, the person was sent to the hospital. No further details were released at the time.
