On Saturday Jan. 20, a fire broke out at the Inuvik ambulance base shortly after 1 a.m.. No crews
were on site at the time of the fire, but the building, the inventory it housed, and the back-up
ambulance were destroyed.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
Ivens said most of the time, the back-up ambulance in Inuvik is not in use, unless the main
vehicle has a mechanical issue. Sometimes it is used if two simultaneous events are happening,
but this is infrequent.
Ivens added that within 24 hours of the fire, AMS was able to secure a temporary location SA国际影视传媒 a
townhouse in Inuvik SA国际影视传媒 to store the ambulances, as well as housing for the crew.
AMS was also able to fully replace the inventory lost in the fire, and is now storing it in a
warehouse near the old gas station in town.
