Fire activity along a key Northwest Territories highway is expected to kick up in the coming days, while Mounties say they'll stop a potentially large group from trying to re-enter when an evacuation order is still in effect.

The territorial government says Highway 1, which links up with Alberta, is open to essential travel but could close without warning due to poor visibility.
