People in Conception Bay North are concerned that nobody has been brought to task on the wildfires this year which destroyed a couple of hundred structures and laid waste to key infrastructure such as post offices and schools.

She says people are nervous and don’t know what to think. They’re wondering if the same thing will happen again.
