Two engines and the Battalion Chief were dispatched by our Communications Centre. Enroute, the responding fire crews encountered heavy fog conditions. The first arriving engine company reported a vehicle on its roof. Fire crew stabilized the vehicle and extrication was performed by the second arriving engine and its crew. An off duty firefighter had come upon the scene prior to the SFD's arrival and assisted with bystanders. The R.C.M.P. assisted at the scene.
