Halloween didn't bring a lot of activity for the fire department.
Members of the Estevan Fire Rescue Service were staying low during the Halloween weekend and were ready to come out and help at any minute if the need would have come. However, Estevan Deputy Fire Chief Rick Davies said there were only a couple of calls on Halloween this year.
The Halloween night went smoothly, but the fire station responded to a couple of other calls for duty over the weekend.
A commercial fire alarm went off on the south side of Estevan at about 6 a.m. on Saturday. Fire crews responded, but no smoke or flame was found either on the exterior or interior of the building and the alarm was deemed false.
"Crews arrived and investigated and didn't find anything. They believed it was an issue with the fire alarm system itself, so the building was turned back over to maintenance people to further investigate," Davies explained.
After that, crews stood down and returned to the station.
The next call came in the same day at about 8 p.m., when firefighters were alarmed to a two-vehicle collision that occurred on King Street. However, it also didn't take much time.
"When the incident command arrived he determined that the Estevan fire was not required, so we stood trucks down and returned to the station," Davies said.
