A concern that a vehicle was submerged in the North Saskatchewan River, prompted a quick response Tuesday night from both the Prince Albert Police Service and Prince Albert Fire Dept.

Around 11:30 p.m., crews were dispatched to an area near First Ave. E.

According to a post on the Prince Albert Fire Dept. Facebook page, the call was to investigate a flashing red light under the water in the river which was thought to be a vehicle.

The rescue boat was launched to investigate. After searching the area, a flashlight was found in the river.

The incident was terminated and all investigating units returned to the fire hall.
