Training exercise to be held at Norman Wells’ airport
Airport staff and first responders in Norman Wells will stage a pretend emergency at the town’s airport on Thursday.
What the NWT government called a “crashed aircraft scenario” will take place from 10am till 2pm. “There may be large amounts of black smoke,” the territory stated.
The training exercise is a test of the emergency response plan for that kind of accident.
