Another busy weekend for police and paramedics is wrapping up in Prince Albert.

By noon on Sunday, July 26, Parkland Ambulance Paramedics had responded to 58 incidents for medical help.

Heat related problems seemed to be trending this weekend so paramedics are reminding people to drink water and seek shade in the hot summer conditions.

On Saturday, July 25, at 1:50 a.m., Paramedics went to a car accident 3 km west of the city on the Buckland Road. Paramedics cared for a 17-year-old girl with minor injuries who was then taken to hospital by ambulance for further care.

On Sunday, July 26, just before 2 a.m. Paramedics responded to an assault on the 200 block of 14th St. W.  A 25-year-old woman suffered minor injuries and was treated by paramedics before being taken to the hospital.
