Sunday morning fire in Iqaluit destroys four housing units

Iqaluit residents gaze at a fire, the third in less than 24 hours, that broke out around 6:25 a.m. on Sunday, June 30, at building 5324, a 10-plex structure in the Plateau neighbourhood, as firefighters direct streams of water in an attempt to extinguish it. After more than three hours of work, firefighters, with the help of a local contractor who provided an excavator, had brought the fire under control by about 9:45 a.m. The fire destroyed four of 10 housing units and is still under investigation. One person was slightly injured. (Photo by Bill Williams)
