According to the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency (SPSA), the provincial fire ban applies for Crown lands and provincial parks. The fire ban includes any open fires, controlled burns and fireworks. As of 4 p.m. CST, there were 16 wildfires in the province, two of which were contained. Those numbers are expected to change as the day goes on.
