Due to improved weather conditions, the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency (SPSA) has announced they’re lifting the fire ban for all provincial crown lands. This includes provincial parks located in the fire ban area in east-central Saskatchewan effective immediately.
The fire ban has been lifted south of Highway 106 from the Manitoba border to Highway 55, South of Highway 55 from Highway 106 to Prince Albert, east of Highway 2 from Prince Albert to Highway 5 and north of Highway 5 to the Manitoba border. The ban also included all land within 4.5 kilometres of the provincial forest boundary.
“The lifting of these restrictions does not include fire bans that parks, municipalities or rural municipalities may have already implemented,” as stated in the release. “The SPSA continues to encourage all municipalities to examine the fire risk in their local area and reminds the public to practice fire safety.”
Those interested can find the latest fire risk maps, and the municipal fire ban map on the SPSA website.
