Weekend rainfall has minor impact on wildfires
Although there were periods of rainfall in the north this past weekend, the heavier rainfall was located in the south. Large fuels such as logs, stumps and tree trunks remain prevalent in the north with the recent rainfall having only a minor impact.
Given the current conditions, the fire ban will remain in place. Local conditions will continue to be monitored.
The fire ban encompasses the area north of the provincial forest boundary up to the Churchill River. The fire ban prohibits open fires, controlled burns and fireworks in the designated boundary. This includes provincial parks, provincial recreation sites and the Northern Saskatchewan Administrative District within those boundaries.
A map with fire ban boundaries can be found in the interactive fire ban map.
