Crews fight fire, respond to crash

Havre Fire Department firefighters responded to two calls in the past five days, said Fire Chief Mel Paulson, who was unavailable to provide details for the report until after print deadline Tuesday.

Saturday at 2:10 p.m., five firefighters responded to a mobile home fire on the 700 Block of Second Street West. The fire started under the home, likely from a heater, Paulson said, but was quickly extinguished, with only minor damage to the structure.

A fire crew responded with an ambulance to a vehicle crash Monday at 3:54 p.m. on the 600 Block of 13th Street, where a juvenile driver had crashed into a pole. Paulson said the juvenile was treated for injuries, but did not say whether she was transported to the hospital.

The fire crew provided assistance and traffic control.

As reported in Tuesday’s Page 5 For the Record the girl was issued a summons on charges of unauthorized use of a vehicle, reckless driving, driving under the influence and seat belt violation.
