Yukon First Nations Wildfire is featured in a new APTN News story examining some of the barriers Indigenous wildfire crews continue to face when it comes to deployment opportunities across Canada.

“We want to see the same and equal opportunity for Indigenous crews across Canada. That’s really what matters most to us.” - Nick Mauro, YFNW CEO

Throughout this wildfire season, YFNW has had trained, qualified and deployment-ready firefighters available to support wildfire suppression efforts. At the same time, international resources travelled to Canada to help meet the demand for firefighters.

Our CEO, Nick Mauro, spoke with APTN about YFNW's experience this season, the challenges within the current interjurisdictional deployment system, and the impact missed opportunities can have on firefighters who train and prepare all season to answer the call.

This conversation is bigger than YFNW. It's about ensuring Indigenous wildfire crews across Canada have equitable opportunities to contribute their training, experience and capacity when communities need support.

We recognize that there are systems and processes governing how wildfire resources move between jurisdictions. We also believe there is an opportunity to examine those systems, address existing barriers, and strengthen the role Indigenous-led wildfire organizations can play in Canada's wildfire response.

We encourage these conversations to happen and are hopeful where they can lead.

Thank you to APTN News and Sara Connors for helping bring this important conversation forward.
