Forest Fires


Our lovely hot summer weather does come with some drawbacks - forest fires.  The one affecting Whitehorse now is the Carmacks area fire (near Little Salmon River).  Our air has been smoke filled from this fire 180 kilometers away and ash has descended upon us.  It does seem the rain in the wee hours of this morning has cleared the air slightly and hopefully the rain expected this weekend will help dowse the flames and help control this fire.  But then, I want more summer again ...  please
