Nearly 200 homes on alert for Yukon wildfires as early season heat event hits

Nearly 200 homes in Yukon are on alert for possible evacuation due to nearby wildfires as temperatures soar into the high 20s across the territory this week. Yukon's Emergency Coordination Centre says about 100 households are under evacuation alert in West Dawson due to danger from the Quebec Creek wildfire. The centre also says the same fire has forced the alert to be activated for 102 campsites in the area as well, on top of the 100 households.

The Emergency Coordination Centre says West Dawson presents another challenge if evacuation is needed: The community has one major road leading north out of the community, with the path south requiring a ferry or other watercraft across the Yukon River.

Parts of the region is also under a severe thunderstorm watch. Environment Canada says the early-season heat event is expected to gradually fade by early next week, but residents should be cautious of heat exhaustion and be mindful of the health of older adults and other people at risk with the high temperatures.
