Mayor of Hay River Kandis Jameson said during a Saturday update on the Northwest Territories wildfires that there are “still challenging days ahead” but that it is a “much brighter situation than it might have been.”

Jameson described her emotions as “a rollercoaster, to look out the window and see that fire roaring towards your town is something I will never forget.” She added that she felt like she was “abandoning the people who were working the hardest for us” but that “it was time to get out.”

As of Saturday morning, N.W.T. Fire said structures in Hay River had been spared, along with the water treatment plant. The fire agency also believes there were no structures lost in the West Channel.

Essential workers were urged to reach the airport and seek further instructions. Most of the civilian population had already left more than a week ago due to the wildfire threat.
