WHITEHORSE — A fire information officer for the Yukon government is warning residents that despite cooler weather and significant headway made on current fires, there are still opportunities for more wildfires.

Since June 18, full response crews have put out 29 of 34 fires in the province and the remaining five have been contained, says Mike Fancie.

Fancie says the forecast shows “average” conditions over the next week and though southeast Yukon may experience a warm weekend, extended dry weather is not expected.
