Yukon fire officials voiced hope on Monday that a shift in weather conditions may benefit those battling a blaze that is inching towards the Village of Mayo and forced the evacuation of the community the day before.
Yukon fire information officer Haley Ritchie said the Talbot Creek wildfire is about four kilometres outside the small village and remains out of control, and aerial firefighting efforts are focused on managing the blaze and keeping it away from the town.
Ritchie said more than 40 personnel have been assigned to the Talbot Creek blaze, along with six air tankers and four helicopters. Elsewhere in the territory, smoky conditions have made visibility poor and fire assessment work difficult for aircraft, Ritchie said.
