Wrong address delays Steinbach fire response

Confusion resulted after a 911 call that dispatched Steinbach Fire Department on Jan. 2. Fire Chief Kel Toews said the call came in stating there was a fire at a Pleasantwood address. Because no such street exists in Steinbach, crews went to Pleasant Drive instead. They quickly learned that was incorrect as well, responding instead to a fire in a garage on Crescentwood. Toews said the time lost did not change the outcome as the damage was to the item burning in the garage and not the structure itself.
