Late yesterday morning, a cloud of dark smoke appeared over Old Airport Road in Yellowknife.

The cause of the massive plume was a townhouse fire on Ward Crescent.

The firefighters on scene immediately worked towards isolating the fire to the one structure.

Deputy Fire Chief and Incident Commander on the case, Darren Kuhn, says maintaining safety to the public was the first priority.
