It's been a quiet couple of days on the fire front in the territory.

Lighter winds, cooler temperatures and scattered rain Sunday helped to reduce fire activity which was in some spots labelled extreme just a day earlier.

In the most recent fire report issued Sunday, officials noted that "while the fires are still active and at time(s) visible, they are much quieter today. They continue to be monitored closely.”

This morning, Fiona Azizaj, a Yukon Wildland Fire Management communications assistant, said there have been no new starts since Sunday's report.

Old Crow is the only community in the territory to be listed as extreme in the fire danger rating.

Dawson City and Mayo are listed as high while all other regions are listed as low or moderate.

While the fire danger rating is down, officials say that smoky conditions can be expected in parts of the territory from a number of large fires burning in British Columbia.

"The public is reminded to be responsible when having a campfire,” reads the fire report.

"Keep it to a manageable size, always monitor it and ensure it is completely extinguished before leaving the area.

"The public is reminded that burning permits are required for any backyard burning and will be suspended when the danger rating is moderate, high or extreme.”

A total of 142 fires have devoured nearly 200,000 hectares of forest in the territory this season.
