Provincial Fire Ban Lifted

Released on July 26, 2024

Due to recent rainfall and cooler weather, the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency (SPSA) is rescinding the provincial fire ban effective at noon on July 26, 2024. 

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 public is reminded that provincial parks, municipalities and R.M.s may still have their own local fire ban, restriction or advisory in place. 

Precipitation received overnight and expected precipitation forecasted in the next 36-hours across the northern provincial forest will bring fire hazards down in that area.

Municipalities and provincial parks should continue to monitor local conditions and implement fire bans or burning restrictions as required. 

"After this weather system passes and hazards increase, the public is reminded to remain attentive to preventing new wildfires while enjoying our provincial forests," SPSA Vice-President of Operations Steve Roberts said.

Anyone who spots a wildfire can call 1-800-667-9660 or dial 9-1-1.

The latest fire risk maps, fire prevention tips and an interactive fire ban map can be found at saskpublicsafety.ca.

Established in 2017, the SPSA is a treasury board crown corporation responsible for wildfire management, emergency management, Sask911, SaskAlert, the Civic Addressing Registry, the Provincial Disaster Assistance Program and fire safety.
