On June 15th 2024 a fire was noticed outside of the community of Fort Good Hope. Over the course of the day it grew to the point where a community evacuation was necessary. This effort was multifaceted, residents were moved by air and water, some headed out to their camps but many were flown to the neighbouring communities. I had the pleasure to sit down with two evacuees and hear about their experience over the last couple days. As I process this episode and publish it here in Norman Wells we are working to keep people fed and rested while crews fight the fire outside Fort Good Hope by air and ground.
Thank you to George & Mary for their words, and willingess to sit down and talk so shortly after they were evacuated.
