A fire occurred on June 7 at about 7 p.m. Fire crews were called to a business in the southeast part of the city.
“We found a fully involved dumpster fire. Crews responded with our engine and our tanker and extinguished the fire,” said Rick Davies, the deputy fire chief with the Estevan Fire Rescue Service (EFRS).
Earlier on June 7, at about 4:30 p.m., the crews were dispatched to the commercial fire alarm on the east side of Estevan.
“Crews responded. It turned to be false of nature. Nothing was found,” said Davies.
In addition, fire crews continued with their regular training.
“Tuesday evening, June 4, we carried on, we did another module for the 1001 (the National Fire Protection Association standard) training. And it was all related to portable fire extinguishers,” said Davies.
On top of that, throughout the week volunteer firefighters attended the station to do some annual hose testing.
And on June 7 in the afternoon, the EFRS sent a fire truck over to Pleasantdale School for a community event.
“After the track and field day we set up the hose line and sprayed the kids off for the day,” said Davies.
Davies said there still isn’t a risk of fire bans coming into effect and as of the end of the week, Estevan was at the moderate fire danger level.
