Estevan firefighters were called to a reported power line and tree fire in the northwest part of the city Friday afternoon.  

Crews responded to the call. Once firefighters arrived on the scene, it was found that the powerline was indeed down in the residential backyard.

“Crews secured the scene and assessed the situation. There were no threats of fire at any time,” said Estevan Deputy Fire Chief Rick Davies. 

Estevan Fire Rescue Service members remained on site until SaskPower crews arrived. Then the scene was turned over to them for repairs. 

Davies noted that SaskPower specialists had no issues with fixing the line.
