At approximately 9:30 last night Dauphin Fire was dispatched for a report of fire alarms sounding at Credit Union Place.
Upon arrival, firefighters were met by Dauphin Rec Services staff who reported the alarm panel indicated an issue in a stairwell in the curling rink area of the facility.
When staff went to investigate they saw smoke coming from a wall heater and immediately went to shut off the breaker supplying power to the heater.
Firefighters used thermal imaging cameras to ensure there was no fire spread inside of the walls and cleared the remainder of the facility.
Thanks to the quick actions of DRS staff, the damage was limited to the wall heater.
There are no estimates on damages at this time.
