Community says police recovered three bodies from the scene of last week's house fire
PIKANGIKUM FIRST NATION — Last week's fatal house fire has claimed three lives, community leadership has confirmed.
"How many more house fires do we have to go through before the government gets serious? The impacts of these losses are long lasting and triggering for the community,” said Chief Shirley Lynne Keeper. "One community member told me that they are reliving a nightmare. I was there on Saturday. The house was still smouldering after three days, because they do not have the capacity to put the fire out," Mamakwa said. "This government needs to commit to a fire hall for Pikangikum so this does not happen again.
