Wrigley Fire Inches Closer | Calgary News

A wildfire inches closer to Wrigley, Northwest Territories, now just seven kilometers away after advancing four kilometers in recent days. Evacuations began June 29, and even essential workers fled as protective lines were breached. Fire crews are battling the blaze with controlled burns and reinforcements—including a high-volume suppression system from Alberta—while residents, including Chief Jamie Moses of the Pehdzéh Kı̨ First Nation, remain on high alert. Despite officials’ reassurance the fire won’t reach the town, frustration grows as other communities recover, and preparations continue for potential spot fires and even further evacuations.
