In Wednesday’s media briefing regarding the wildfire situation, Steve Roberts, Vice President of Operations for the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency, outlined how hot and dry conditions are expected to continue through into next week.
“We’ll get some precipitation and storm activity, in those locations we will likely see some lightning,” Roberts said. “And we’ll see smoke in most parts of the province because of the prevailing winds.”
