Hanover Fire Department crews had a busy start to Canada Day, responding to three separate calls on Tuesday.
The first incident was reported at 10:45 a.m. on Road 33E, just north of Road 32N, where a baler had caught fire and flames began to spread to nearby hay swaths.
Fire Chief Paul Wiebe says crews responded quickly and were able to extinguish the equipment and field fire within the hour.
“There were no injuries,” Wiebe confirms.
A few hours later, firefighters were dispatched to a business in Kleefeld following a fire alarm activation at 12:40 p.m. That call turned out to be a false alarm.
Then at 2:40 p.m., a carbon monoxide alarm went off at a home on Evergreen in Mitchell. That call was also determined to be a false alarm.
All crews have since returned to service.
