NWT Fire says a wildfire burning on the edge of Fort Good Hope for the past 10 days broke through firefighters' efforts to contain it on Wednesday afternoon.
Forecast temperatures of 30C or more across much of the NWT mean "any spark in the forest could become a serious wildfire," NWT Fire warned.
A wildfire that received international attention when it rolled across the highway near the NWT-Alberta border last month is now 'being held.'
The territory's wildfire agency says translating updates into K’asho Got’ı̨nę and using maps has helped Elders to better understand what fire crews are doing.
The NWT government is offering free assessments to reduce wildfire risk to properties in several communities.
