Fire ban issued province-wide

Fire ban issued province-wide Daily Herald File Photo Due to hot, dry conditions and an extreme fire risk that covers most of the province, the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency (SPSA) has issued a provincial fire ban for Crown lands, provincial parks and the Northern Saskatchewan Administration District, effective immediately on Friday. The fire ban includes any open fires, controlled burns and fireworks. Many municipalities already have fire bans in place.  The SPSA encourages all municipalities to examine the fire risk in their area. The RM of Prince Albert and RM of Buckland have both issued fire bans. The fire ban in both was issued on June 30 and will be in effect until a notice is issued by the municipality.

Wildfires in Saskatchewan sparked by high temperatures

(980 CJME file photo) Like its neighbouring provinces, Saskatchewan is facing extreme fire conditions due to the high heat and low precipitation. So far this year, the province has dealt with 202 fires, which is slightly above the five-year average of 195. Steve Roberts, the vice-president of operations for the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency, explained two fires the Briggs and Lock are not yet contained and are posing a concern. “The Brigg fire, it started June 29 in the afternoon,” Roberts said Friday. “By 8 p.m. the next day, it had exceeded 1,500 hectares. The fire is adjacent to the Cigar Lake Mining Facility.” On Thursday, the facility self-evacuated all non-critical staff. Currently the fire is being managed and there has been no report of structure losses due to the fire.
