A vehicle fire in the back lane of 200 Main St. N kicked off what proved to be a busy Wednesday for the Dauphin Fire Department, last week.

Just before 2:30 p.m., the department was dispatched to the scene of the vehicle fire, which was quickly extinguished. It is suspected a mechanical failure caused the fire.

That evening firefighters attended at the station for their weekly training session. As they were leaving at approximately 10:30 p.m., a call was received regarding a single vehicle accident on Hwy. 20 north of the city.

The vehicle had collided with a deer and the airbags were deployed. The lone occupant of the vehicle was uninjured.

Upon their return to the station, firefighters were then dispatched to a report of a structure fire on the 200 block of Main St. N. at approximately 11:30 p.m.

The fire was a result of unattended cooking and the damages were contained to the one apartment.

Fire chief Cam Abrey said thanks to the quick actions of others in the apartment block noting the alarm sounding and calling 911, the damages were minimal.

The lone occupant of the apartment was treated by EMS and released at the scene.
