I wanted to identify that in the Yukon we have more extreme fire behaviour years but also years of low fire behaviour. It's almost getting more episodic in terms of what we're seeing, but the overall trend of forest fire behaviour in the Yukon is increasing.
What that has done is put an imminent threat on some of our communities, especially Whitehorse. The past practices of fuel management and fire management.... We have a tremendous amount of fuel loading around communities where strategies to do that could create a source of biomass. These are around the fuel reduction and landscape level fuel treatments in and around communities. These are very expensive upfront costs, but they have huge benefits for the north as a fuel source as well as protecting our communities.
