Busy year for NFD continues with response to house fire

The Nipawin Fire Department (NFD) joined crews from Carrot River to fight a house fire southeast of Nipawin.

The blaze started Friday afternoon, and the department said they sent 10 firefighters, a tanker and an engine to assist the Carrot River Fire Department in fighting the blaze.

The NFD said the gas line had ruptured below the meter and members had to help SaskEnergy with digging up the pipe.

They said Carrot River fire crews did an admirable job of saving nearby buildings.
