The NWT’s wildfire agency is investigating what it termed “an incident” involving a water bomber near Yellowknife on Monday.
Little information about what took place is available, though wildfire information officer Mike Westwick said by phone he would not characterize what transpired as a crash.
Nobody was hurt, Westwick said, and “everyone involved is safe.”
The type of aircraft involved was not immediately known, nor the number of people involved.
Whether the aircraft is a write-off or can be repaired was not specified.
“The circumstances are being investigated,” Westwick said.
