July 14, 2026. | 5PM – Community Fire Update

Attention Residents Of Fort Simpson:

Scorching heat has brought the subterranean hotspots back to life, allowing firefighters to continue to seek and destroy. Their blacklining efforts have made significant progress on containing the fire.

In addition, tree removal has been initiated to protect powerlines and public spaces. Many places have a new look that will take some getting used to.

We are putting the finishing touches on the re-entry plan and intend to release it for public viewing soon. More updates to come.

Mahsi Cho, Thanks,
