On June 22, 2025, several areas in Yukon, Canada, are under evacuation alerts due to active wildfires. The Mount Leotta fire threatens areas near the Dempster Highway cutoff and Henderson Corner, while the Quebec Creek fire poses risks to West Dawson and properties along the Top of the World Highway.
An evacuation alert also covers the Silver Trail Highway due to the North Ferry Hill fire. Residents are urged to prepare for potential evacuation by gathering essential items and making arrangements for pets. Authorities recommend staying informed through official channels.
A Special Air Quality Statement is in effect for several regions due to smoke from the wildfires, which is expected to cause poor air quality and reduced visibility.

Residents are advised to take precautions against heat-related illnesses.
