Just after 2:00 pm on Thursday (August 18) the department was called for a single vehicle rollover northwest of the City. The lone occupant of the vehicle was transported by EMS to Dauphin Regional Health Centre in stable condition.
On Saturday (August 20), DFD received a call for a vehicle rollover just before 1:00 pm south of the City. Upon arrival it was found that the occupant(s) of the vehicle had already left the scene.
At approximately 4:00 am on Sunday (August 21) morning, there was a report of a structure fire on 2nd Avenue NE. Upon arrival there was smoke and flames visible from the windows. Crews searched the home and found no occupants at the time of incident. The fire was contained quickly, limiting the amount of damage, however there are no estimates on damages at this time. The fire is suspicious in nature, anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to contact the RCMP at 204-622-5050.
