Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency Prepares for California Support

Released on January 14, 2025

Today, the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency (SPSA) offered a Birddog aircraft, 3000 lengths of 100 ft hose and 10 firefighters to help fight the wildfires in California through a request for assistance from the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre (CIFFC).  

"Our thoughts are with everyone affected by the wildfires in California," Corrections, Policing and Public Safety Minister Tim McLeod said. "In Saskatchewan, we know firsthand how devastating a fire can be, and offering our experienced members and equipment is exactly what being a good neighbour is all about."

The SPSA is waiting for a response from CIFFC regarding next steps in deploying these resources.

The SPSA provides support to other jurisdictions when a request is made through one of the agency's established mutual agreements or partnerships. 

Established in 2017, the SPSA is a Treasury Board Crown Corporation responsible for emergency management, Sask911, SaskAlert, the Civic Addressing Registry, wildfire management and fire safety.
