Kindersley Fire Department Responds to Two Simultaneous Emergency Calls
At 8:49 a.m., the Kindersley Fire Department was dispatched to two emergency calls simultaneously, requiring crews and apparatus to respond to separate incidents.
Call #1 – Motor Vehicle Collision
The first call involved a single-vehicle collision where a vehicle had left the roadway and struck a power pole. Initial reports indicated there were injuries.
Upon arrival, firefighters found the power pole had been completely sheared off and was being supported only by the overhead transmission lines, creating a significant electrical hazard. Incident Command immediately requested SaskPower to respond to the scene.
Fire crews secured the vehicle, ensured the scene was safe, and assisted with patient care. One patient was transported to the Kindersley Hospital for further assessment.
With the damaged power infrastructure creating an ongoing hazard, Kindersley Fire personnel remained on scene providing traffic control until SaskPower crews arrived and assumed responsibility for the electrical hazard.
At 10:08 a.m., Incident Command transferred the scene to SaskPower, and fire crews returned to the station.
Call #2 – Smoke Alarm Activation
At the same time, additional Kindersley Fire Department crews responded to a report of a smoke alarm sounding.
After completing an investigation, firefighters determined the activation to be accidental, and the incident was classified as a false alarm. Crews ensured there was no danger before returning to service.
At 10:55 a.m., all Kindersley Fire Department units and personnel were cleared and returned to service.
The Kindersley Fire Department reminds residents that while many smoke alarm activations turn out to be accidental, every alarm is treated as a potential emergency until crews can confirm there is no danger. Working smoke alarms continue to be one of the most important life-saving devices in any home or business.
