Pond Inlet’s water truck catches fire

Residents of Pond Inlet watch as smoke billows out of the hamlet’s garage on Wednesday, April 17. Early that morning, community members heard a loud boom—the sound of an explosion in the engine of one of the hamlet’s water trucks. Although the water truck was damaged, the fire did not destroy the garage and no one was injured in the incident, the hamlet said. The community’s fire department is investigating the cause of the explosion. (Photo courtesy of B. Arreak)
