ESTEVAN — Estevan Fire Rescue Service members were called to a carbon monoxide (CO) leak last week and responded to a collision.
On June 16 at about 11 p.m., fire crews were dispatched to a CO alarm in northern Estevan. Investigation showed elevated carbon monoxide readings in the residence, so SaskEnergy was called to the scene to help with the investigation.
There was one occupant who was at home at the time the leak occurred and was exposed to CO. The individual was assessed by the EMS. Firefighters ventilated the building, bringing the CO level down. Once everything was cleared and back to normal, the house was turned back over to the homeowner and SaskEnergy to further investigate and get repairs done on the HVAC equipment.
In the later hours of June 17, crews were dispatched to a collision on Highway 39 west of Hitchcock. A vehicle hit a deer. Davies said no injuries were reported, and the vehicle sustained minor damage. Crews assisted with the vehicle and debris removal and returned to the station afterwards.
Earlier that day, Estevan firefighters also partook in the 2023 grad parade, showing their support and celebrating the graduates.
