The government says it is fighting three fires in the Northwest Territories, and it says humans caused two of the fires. It says one human-caused wildfire in the South Slave region is under control. It says the fire measuring about 0.0001 square kilometres, or roughly the size of a large house, began on Monday. The Environment and Climate Change website describes the blaze as a “camp fire escaped.” The government says it is also fighting an out-of-control overwintering fire, scorching about 0.05 square kilometres in the South Slave region that began on May 9. An overwinter fire is one that remains dormant or undetected for a considerable amount of time after it starts. The government says the overwinter fire was found using infrared scanning along the perimeter of the Fort Providence wildfire last year. It says firefighters will attack hotspots found by scanning and get rid of the “remaining heat” using heavy equipment.
