A slow week for the Okotoks Fire Department in this week's edition of the fire report.

Okotoks Fire Chief Ken Thevenot

Fire Services were on call for 19 different responses last week.

Fire Chief Ken Thevenot says they did respond to a pair of minor fire calls though.

"We had three alarm system activations, two fires, seven medical calls, two first responses, another call where no incident was found, three motor vehicle accidents and one animal rescue."

Thevenot says as the summer winds down and outdoor events ramp up this weekend it's important to be aware of your surrounding in all shapes and forms.

"We're going to have a very weekend in town. Lots of traffic and events going on with Chili-Fest, rodeo and the highland games so just be a little bit more aware with the events this weekend with the traffic around along with the pedestrians as well."
