Details on fire calls through the weekend have been provided and include:

NorthWestern Energy assisted with a gas smell reported on 12th Street at 8:01 a.m. Friday. The smell was from a blocked sewer vent, which was then reopened.

A fire alarm on the 1300 Block of First Street was due to a leak in a sprinkler system that was then scheduled to be repaired.

A fire call to the 600 Block of Third Avenue at 10:13 a.m. Saturday was for a fire in a chimney that was extinguished with no damage to the home.

Two engines and an ambulance responded to a fire call to the 1400 Block of First Street where an electrical issue caused a fire in an RV. One person was treated for injuries but refused transport, and Fire Chief Nathan Courtnage said the fire was contained to the trailer, which is likely a total loss.

Several calls to the 1600 Block of Pine and Juniper drives about a gas odor started with a 3:15 p.m. Monday call. NorthWestern Energy crews also responded and a gas leak was discovered in the alley. Courtnage said an ambulance and engine have been standing by while work has been done on the gas line. The work is wrapping up today. More details will be provided should they come in.

An 11:23 p.m. Monday call to the 3500 Block of U.S. Highway 2 West was an alarm system malfunction that is being fixed.

And a false alarm to the 1300 Block of First Street Tuesday at 1:28 p.m. is related to the faulty system in a call to the same location Friday.
