ESTEVAN — The Estevan Fire Rescue Service was called to assist with an elevator entrapment at a hotel in the eastern part of the city at about 7 p.m. on Aug. 9.

Earlier last week, on Aug. 7 at approximately 10 p.m., fire crews were dispatched to a carbon monoxide (CO) alarm at a residence in central Estevan. SaskEnergy was also dispatched to the location. Small amounts of CO were detected in the residence. The cause of the alarm was believed to be from a natural gas stove that was being used.
On Aug. 9 at about 2:30 a.m., firefighters responded to a commercial fire alarm in the northwest part of the city. Crews checked the whole building but couldn't find a source for the alarm. It's believed it may have been from a faulty detection device.
The same day at about 2:30 p.m., crews were dispatched to a parking lot in central Estevan, where fuel was leaking from a truck. It was determined that there was a fuel tank in the box of the truck that was leaking. Crews turned the valve off, stopped the leak, put down some absorbent material and then returned to the station.
