The Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency (SPSA) lifted a province-wide fire ban on Monday citing progress fighting wildfires in the north over the weekend. Some northern communities still have local fire bans in effect.
“We have been able to make headway on a number of fires,” SPSA vice president of operations Steve Roberts said Monday morning. “Over the weekend we received scattered precipitation and cooler temperatures across the northern half of the province… That has prompted us to revoke the provincial fire ban.”
