Very cool drab weekend flowing over into Monday morning frost.

The sad reality of the weekend fire and death is evident as you head down towards the airstrip and northern point. There were some people [official] sifting through the carnage around mid day yesterday, not an enviable job.

The police and volunteer fire brigade are usually the first responders with these incidents, after any tragedy the next on the scene are the people of the Nain Crisis Response Team who can get called out at any hour.

My memory may be fading but I think this is the first time that the volunteers and staff of the NCRT have been mentioned in a media story right after the incident.
