It was a busy day for Kindersley Fire on Tuesday, as crews responded to two separate calls for service just hours apart.
The first call came in at 5:30 p.m., when rescue, traffic, and command units were dispatched to a two-vehicle head-on collision, alongside RCMP and EMS. The crash left one vehicle in the south ditch and the other about 400 feet away in the north ditch.
Each vehicle had a single occupant, and both sustained minor injuries. Emergency personnel secured the scene before being cleared for service at 6:27 p.m.
Crews were called out again later that night at 9:02 p.m. for a carbon monoxide alarm at a local residence. Upon arrival, firefighters evacuated the home and began ventilating the space. They also shut off the building's natural gas supply as a precaution until a full inspection could be completed.
Atmospheric testing revealed carbon monoxide levels between 60 and 80 parts per million (ppm), while natural gas levels reached 700 ppm. All personnel and equipment were cleared from the scene at 10:21 p.m.
