Thompson Fire and Emergency Services had their hands full last night.

Speaking on City Beat this morning, Mayor Dennis Fenske said that in addition to a fire just north of the Yale area, fire fighters were called to seven trash can fires.

Fenske said that 30-minute evacuation notices were given to some residents early this morning, though no one was evacuated and the fire is now being “mopped up”. Fenske added that if they had been forced to evacuate, they would have been directed to the TRCC.

Fenske said that as the conditions are extremely dry after the heat the City has experienced the past few days, everyone should use extreme caution and keep their eyes open.
