Residents of the Navou trailer park were woken early on Saturday morning to a structure fire involving two buildings. Deputy Fire Chief Mike Wock says crews dispatched to the scene were greeted by heavy fire. 

“The fire started on a vacant trailer. And with the weather conditions and the wind that evening, it extended over into an occupied trailer.” 

Wock explains the efforts of firefighters included protecting those nearby alongside fighting the blaze. He says they faced some challenges but ultimately quenched the fire.  

The Weyburn Police Service were called to a local gas station on Friday, after they reported an impaired driver. Police located the driver who was in control of their vehicle, however also displaying signs of drug impairment.  

Deputy Chief Shane St. John explains the driver was displaying strange behavioral signs of impairment.  

“When the police arrived, they of course observed impairment. Then they called for a drug recognition expert (DRE), one of our members.” 

Due to the signs displayed by the driver, they were detained while the DRE arrived.
