Dumpster fire in Melfort
Melfort Fire Department called to recycling bin fire
Aug 15, 2024 | 11:29 AM
Some quick thinking may have prevented a dumpster fire in Melfort from spreading to a nearby building.
Fire crews were called to the Norman Vickar Building on Crawford Ave. just before 5 p.m. Wednesday.
The fire was smouldering as they arrived.
The fire department said thanks to the quick action of a local resident and the use of multiple fire extinguishers, the blaze was contained to the bin itself.
