CFES respond to two fires early Saturday
Two early morning fires kept firefighters with Cranbrook Fire & Emergency Services (CFES) busy Saturday, January 21.
CFES responded to and extinguished a fire in a dumpster located behind Domino’s Pizza at about 12:30 a.m., when it received a second call for service to structure fire on Industrial Road 2.
Just before 1 a.m., CFES responded to a structure fire with two apparatus and four firefighters. Upon arrival, firefighters extinguished a vehicle that was fully involved and had spread to the home.
Firefighters were able to safely remove the lone occupant and a dog from the smoke-filled home. The occupant was then transported to the East Kootenay Regional Hospital for treatment.
Cranbrook Fire & Emergency Services reminds you that it is important to regularly check your smoke alarms in your home to ensure they are functioning properly, and change the batteries every six months.
