Investigation underway into fire that burned down Iqaluit weather station
Cause still unknown, says City of Iqaluit
RCMP and Nunavut’s fire marshal are investigating the cause of a fire that burned down a weather station office in Iqaluit’s West 40 area this week.
The cause of the fire is still unknown, according to a City of Iqaluit news release.
Emergency crews were called to the scene Monday at around 3 p.m. after reports of smoke in the area. Upon arriving, firefighters saw flames on one side of the building, which is operated by Environment and Climate Change Canada.
More than a dozen firefighters and six fire vehicles were able to contain the blaze, preventing it from spreading to nearby buildings and vehicles, the news release states.
Is that the upper air station?
