Water bombers and helicopters could be seen tackling a wildfire burning north of Prince Albert by the pulp mill Saturday afternoon.
Buckland Fire and Rescue confirmed to paNOW they had crews at the scene too, but details are still scarce, including how big the fire grew and what caused it. There were reports on social media that lightning had gone through the area.
Witnesses submitted video showing the flames picking up around 5 p.m. but by 8 p.m. the billowing smoke had settled.
