Members of the Estevan Fire Rescue Service had a couple of fire alarm calls to tend to last week.

The first call was a commercial fire alarm in northwest Estevan on July 10, after a wall-mounted alarm was pulled. They were also dispatched to a residential fire alarm the following day in northeast Estevan.

Both calls proved to be false alarms.

Members also participated in a bi-weekly training session on July 10 at the fire hall. The firefighters performed checks of the fire trucks to make sure their equipment was clean, up-to-date and working.

They also did some work to the city’s water truck, which they use if they need to haul in extra water.

Firefighters also attended the Street Fair in downtown Estevan on Saturday. People looked inside one of the fire trucks, and the fire department members interacted with the public.

Davies noted five or six members of the Estevan Fire Rescue Service, including Fire Chief Dale Feser, were at the Country Thunder music festival near Craven on the weekend, working with Team Response’s fire and medical team.

“They were there volunteering and participating with those crews,” said Davies.

With the number of firefighters out of town, Davies said it was good to have a quieter week.
