The Dauphin Fire Department responded to three separate calls between 2:30 pm and 11:30 pm yesterday.

The first call, which came in around 2:30, was a report of a vehicle fire in the back lane of the 200 block of Main Street North. The department suspects it was caused by a mechanical failure, and the fire was quickly extinguished.

Then around 10:30 pm, the department received a report of a single-vehicle accident on Highway 20 North. The vehicle had hit a deer and the airbags deployed, the driver of the vehicle wasn't hurt.

Finally, around 11:30 the DFD got a report of a structure fire on the 200 block of Main Street North. The cause of the fire was determined to be cooking that was left unattended. Other occupants of the apartment block quickly called the fire department and the damage was limited to the single unit and was minimal. The only person in the unit where the fire was contained was treated by EMS and released at the scene.
