Protecting Whitehorse from catastrophic wildfire

May 08, 2023 • Jennifer Sharp and Carl Cibart • Season 7 • Episode 1

Recent years have seen devastating fires in Albert and B.C. The Whitehorse South Fuel Break is part of a plan to prevent a similar disaster in Whitehorse. It won't stop a fire in its tracks but it will help firefighters respond. Jennifer Sharp and Carl Cibart of Yukon Wildland Fire Management tell us how it works.
