A reconnaissance flight observed increased fire activity, including individual and group torching in black spruce and tundra.

The Tatlanika Fire is within a Limited Management Option Area and remains in monitor status. In Limited Areas, fires are generally allowed to play their natural role when they do not threaten communities, homes, infrastructure, or other important resources. Fire managers continue to monitor these fires and may take action if a threat develops.
