Yukon First Nations Wildfire

Our Vision

With a focus on capacity development of Yukon Indigenous youth, our vision is to foster community resilience while incorporating traditional knowledge and practices in the delivery of Emergency Management services in the Yukon and Canada.

About Us

Yukon First Nations Wildfire (YFNW) is a partnership of nine Yukon First Nations stakeholders, providing emergency management and training services. With Elders, YFNW incorporates traditional knowledge and is visible in Yukon communities through our Initial Attack and Sustained Action wildfire programs. We continually expand our services and develop future leaders as the need for multi-faceted emergency personnel grows.
