VIDEO: More than 100 fires continue to burn in Sask.
Massive fires near La Ronge and north of Prince Albert National Park are both about three times the size of Saskatoon. They are part of 116 fires that continued to burn in the province on Thursday.
Crews are making progress as efforts have been ramped up to move resources into affected areas over the past few days.
However, Daryl Jessop, director of wildfire support services with the ministry of environment said it’s a tough battle.
“We have 35 fires that are not contained … we are actively engaged on the fire, but we’re expecting potential growth,” he said.
