  5. The McDonald Fire has taken off on the Tanana Flats southeast of Fairbanks and is spreading quickly westward in the strong winds. Fire's not a threat to property but smoke may become a problem. No cause posted but it's evidently on DoD land, so…

  7. Seasonal total #wildfire total area burned in #Canada, 1980 to 2023. For this year, total burned through August 29 at 15.20 million hectares. That's more than 8 times the 43 year median and almost exact double the previous record of 7.65 million hectares burned in 1989. Data from Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre #Summer2023 #CanadaWildfire @evaholland @McYukon

  8. Latest #wildfire estimate from Northwest Territories Department of Environment and Climate Change shows 3.43 million hectares burned thus far in 2023. This is now the greatest area burned in NWT in the past 44 years, eclipsing the previous highest of 3.42 million ha in 2014. 2023 area is sure to increase. #ntwx #Arctic #Canada #CanadaWildfire #Summer2023
