CBC Yukon is reporting live on the wildfires this week. We’re heading to the frontlines with first responders and to communities along the Silver Trail to see how Yukoners are grappling with a fire situation officials have described as “unprecedented.” This first dispatch is coming straight from the North Klondike Highway, a few metres from the closure between Pelly and Stewart Crossing.

Two forces of nature. Jason Gendron stayed up late to capture this incredible footage of the aurora exploding over a wildfire on Windy Arm in Tagish Lake, Yukon.
