2024 Yukon Wildfire History
In its October 2024 end-of-season statement, the Government of Yukon reported more than 150 wildfires and roughly 200,000 hectares burned across the territory's 10 fire districts. The government said most fires were caused by lightning and documented evacuation alerts for Stewart Crossing and Mayo, North Klondike Highway traffic disruptions, and the evacuation of a remote lodge in the Beaver Creek region. FireRadar keeps those source-defined approximations intact rather than inferring a more precise final total.

Wildfires caused traffic disruptions on the North Klondike Highway, demonstrating that community impact is not captured by fire count or area burned alone.

This is not a reconstructed live map of every moment in 2024, not proof of a fire’s status on a particular day, and not a substitute for agency incident archives. FireRadar’s interactive retained-history product begins with its own observation window and remains clearly separate.
