Fire-ravaged N.W.T. hamlet asks for independent inquiry as it looks to rebuild

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:12:32 GMT

ENTERPRISE, N.W.T. — Paul Flamand dug through the ashes of his burned-down home in a hamlet known as the gateway to the Northwest Territories. The building was lost to a raging wildfire that tore through Enterprise within a matter of hours in August. But a piece of his heart held onto hope that one thing may have survived — his grandfather’s ring. He saw a slight shining in the debris, and there it was. “It was fine, a little charred up, but the diamonds were still in it. Good enough,” Flamand said in an interview at his plumbing business, which survived the fire. Enterprise, a community of about 100 people on the highway north of the Alberta boundary, lost 80 per cent of its structures. Local leaders are wondering why there was so much destruction. “Once the fire got to that point, nothing could be done,” said Blair Porter, the hamlet’s senior administrative officer. “But did it have to get to that point? Those are the questions we’re asking.”The hamlet trac...
