Saskatchewan’s provincial fire ban was lifted in some areas on Friday after cooler temperatures and rainfall helped lower the fire risk in the province.
“The fire ban will be lifted on all Crown lands, provincial parks, provincial recreation sites located north of the provincial forest boundary, along with the Northern Saskatchewan Administration District,” the provincial government said in a statement.
Fire bans are still in place in some areas of the province. On Saturday Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency’s fire ban map showed 32 active RM fire bans, 10 active urban municipality fire bans, and four active fire bans in provincial parks.

“The public is reminded that provincial parks, municipalities and R.M.s may still have their own local fire ban, restriction or advisory in place.”
Municipalities and provincial parks were advised to continue monitoring conditions and implement fire bans and burning restrictions as needed.
Despite the relief brought by the change in weather, Steve Roberts with the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency said it doesn’t mean there’s no risk.
“After this weather system passes and hazards increase, the public is reminded to remain attentive to preventing new wildfires while enjoying our provincial forests,” Roberts said in a statement.
According to the agency, there were 95 active wildfires around the province as of 1 p.m. on Friday, 14 of which are uncontained.
