There was no rest for members of the Prince Albert Fire Department over the Easter weekend, as they had a number of calls including a house fire.

Around 10 a.m. Saturday morning there was smoke seen coming from a property in the 1600 block of 15th St. W. No one lived in the house, but a witness told paNOW she had called police earlier that morning after noticing the front door had been kicked in.

There was no major damage reported in either incident.
