After being inoperable for most of the day Friday, Inuvik’s ambulance phone number is back in service.

In a public notice posted at 1:10am on Friday, the Town of Inuvik stated its ambulance phone line is “inoperable.” Residents were asked to call the RCMP at 777-1111 or the fire department at 777-2222.

By Friday afternoon at 2:25 pm, a spokesperson with the NWT Health and Social Services Authority informed Cabin Radio via email that the phone was operational.

Anyone requiring ambulance service should call 777-4444.
