Busy Weekend for Local Firefighters

Members of the Fort Frances Fire and Rescue were busy dealing with a number of grass fires of their own.

Among them, a fire that broke out just around midnight last night near the Fort Frances Curling Club and took fire fighters nearly two hours to battle.

Saturday afternoon, fire fighters were called to AbitibiBowater to deal with a fire on a locomotive.

The fire was contained to the engine compartment and no other rail cars were damaged.

The extent of damage to the locomotive was not immediately known.
