Meanwhile, fire stations in Chatham were kept busy throughout the weekend as well and responded to a trio of separate structure fires in the Chatham area.

On Friday, firefighters were called to a deck fire on King Street West near Lacroix Street.

Shortly after 2 p.m. on Saturday, another deck fire was reported on De Graeve Drive near Sheldon Avenue. Just three hours later, firefighters also responded to a garage fire on McNaughton Avenue between St. Clair Street and Prince Albert Road.

"Chatham-Kent Fire and Rescue would like to take this time to remind all Chatham-Kent residents about the importance of having working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms in their homes," Public Educator Whitney Burk said through a media release.
