The explosive fire that rocked Happy Valley-Goose Bay last Friday took down an important relic of the town's military history, says former town manager Joe Goudie.

Happy Valley-Goose Bay Mayor George Andrews says there are lessons to be learned in the aftermath of a fire that tore through an former airport hangar — and one resident says the RCMP didn't contact enough people to evacuate.
