Fire destroys Kugluktuk business

Kugluktuk residents woke to the sound of fire trucks speeding toward Mulco Ltd.’s maintenance garage on Sunday morning.

The building, a forklift and a loader were destroyed in the blaze.

Homes and businesses in the surrounding area were still without phone service Wednesday because of damaged phone lines.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation. No one was injured and damage to surrounding buildings was minimal.

Mulco is a building company involved with construction, road clearing and maintenance.
