There are now 137 active wildfires burning in Saskatchewan today as crews continue to try and contain them.
That brings the total amount of fires in the province this year to 382, which is more than 170 over the five year average.
Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency Vice-President of Operations Steve Roberts says campers in Narrow Hills Provincial Park have been put on high alert.
“That fire is actually impacting the southern half of Narrow Hills Provincial Park, so we have asked them to put campers and recreational folks in the south half of the park on advisory should that fire continue to grow northward,” Roberts said. “Our expectations is the wind will be from the north, which will keep the fire from moving into the park any further.”
