Praise for crews, worries for health as fire season returns to Dehcho – Cabin Radio
July 3, 2025
Wildfires and smoke are back in the Dehcho. For some residents, it’s just another summer. Others are worried about the consequences.
Twelve of the 17 fires reported in the Dehcho region this summer remain out of control, NWT Fire reported on its website on Wednesday. No communities are immediately threatened, the wildfire agency stated.
Communities such as Nahanni Butte, Fort Liard, Fort Simpson and Wrigley could face extreme fire danger at points over the coming days, though some rain is also forecast to move across the Dehcho.
