Fire Safety
Wildland Fire Management has put a Level 2 fire restriction in place for the Beaver Creek, Haines Junction, Carmacks, Ross River, Dawson, Mayo and Old Crow fire districts.
Under extreme conditions, fires can start easily, spread rapidly and challenge fire response efforts. Yukoners can help fire crews by being responsible with fires allowed under this ban:
• Avoid building a fire in windy conditions.
• Do not build a fire larger than what you need.
• Always have an eye on your fire and keep water nearby.
• Ensure all fires are completely out before leaving them. Soak them with water, stir them, and repeating until the ashes are cold to the touch.
If you or someone else is hurt or in danger, phone 9-1-1 to get help from RCMP, the Fire Department or Emergency Medical Services (EMS).
This is available anywhere you can make a phone call in the Yukon.
