Update on the Forest Fires Situation Around Our Facilities

Energy Supply, Safety

Jul 19, 2013

Wildland Yukon Wildland Fire Management has given us permission to re-energize our transmission line between Faro and Carmacks. We have made the repairs to our poles recently damaged by forest fires in the area and we are about to fly the line to ensure there are no other issues we need to deal with. If all goes well, we should have Faro and Ross River back on grid power by this evening.

We continue to closely watch the fire burning near our Aishihik facilities. We have almost completed our fire break work and will do a second test of our sprinkler system very shortly, with Wildland Fire Management in attendance.
