SK Government Fire Update – July 11

For more specific fire info, visit: http://www.environment.gov.sk.ca/fire or call the Wildfire Client Service Office at 1-800-567-4224.

We are escorting permanent residents in some communities northeast of La Ronge, like Missinipe, not affected by the evacuations back to their homes. To be clear, these convoys are not for people still under mandatory evacuation, only permanent residents who were unable to return home from the south because of the road closures. Mines and businesses in the area are also part of the convoys so they can transport critical supplies like food and fuel.

Evacuees are encouraged to call their insurance broker and check their coverage as living expenses may be covered while they are displaced. Fuel, meals and transportation costs may be covered as well. For more info: http://www.saskatchewan.ca/…/j…/10/sgi-coverage-for-evacuees

Most of Saskatchewan’s Provincial Parks are open! There are some closures in the north and fire bans to note but many are out enjoying our beautiful parks. For more info: www.saskparks.net

Highways and roads across the north are open and closed intermittently depending on smoke and wildfire conditions, visit: http://www.saskatchewan.ca/l…/transportation/highway-hotline

Red Cross Inquiry Line for evacuees or family members of evacuees: 1-888-953-3463.
