It was an active Tuesday morning for the Dauphin Fire Department. Below is a summary from Fire Chief Cam Abrey of what occured:
In the early hours of Tuesday August 02, members of DFD responded to four separate incidents.
At midnight, the first call was received for a fire in a business on 3rd Avenue North East. As crews were wrapping up and putting the trucks back into service, shortly after 1:00 a.m., another call was received for a vehicle fire located behind a business on the 300 block of Main Street South.
During this vehicle fire, crews noticed smoke near the corner of 1st Avenue South West and Main Street. A fire was located behind 7-11 beside the dumpster.
Then shortly after 6:00 a.m., a fourth call was received for another vehicle fire at a business in the 500 block of Main Street South.
There was another attempted fire which was not reported to 911 as it had burned itself out at a business on 3rd Avenue North West.
Each one of the incidents is suspicious in nature. Should anyone have any information, please contact the RCMP at 204-622-5050.
This is in addition to a couple of businesses in Dauphin who posted on social media about broken windows at their shop.
