Temporary portable washrooms previously set up at the Rae Access Road, North Arm Park, Fort Providence and the Deh Cho Bridge will be removed.
In an update posted to N.W.T. Fire's Facebook page, the government warns of "aggressive fire weather" expected Sunday, which could impact highway conditions.
"Smoky conditions are also expected around these fires today, and could impact visibility around the highway for both crews and the public," reads the Facebook post.
"Please, drive slowly and be on alert for crews working."
Additional police resources are on highways in the territory to ensure crews are safe and are ticketing speeders.
