Yukon Wildfires

Dawson area power supply:

All updates regarding power supply to areas affected by wildfires near Dawson can be found at yukon.ca/emergencies.

General power outages:

In areas of increased wildfire activity, the utilities (ATCO and Yukon Energy) have activated a safety setting that prevents power from being automatically restored following a fault. Faults can occur when trees or other objects make contact with power lines. As a result, restoration may take longer than usual since crews must manually inspect the lines and confirm it’s safe before re-energizing them.
