Assistance from Yukon Energy During Phone/Internet Outage

As residents of Mendenhall are likely aware, a fibre optic bundle was cut this afternoon which took out land line telephone and internet service to the subdivision. We have been told that Northwestel is working on the problem, but in the meantime we will offer our assistance in the event of a fire alarm. If an alarm comes in, we will contact our operators in the field, and they will go to the Mendenhall Fire Hall and raise the alarm on the department's base station radio. The Ibex Valley firehall has also been alerted that they may be required to cover any calls originating from Mendenhall.
