Fire Ban

NB fire ban lifted

Aug 29, 2024 | 1:18 PM

North Battleford is no longer under a fire ban.

A release from the City on Thursday confirmed it will be lifted effective immediately after being put in place earlier this month.

According to a Saskatchewan Active Wild Fire Situation Map, there are currently 66 active fires, all of which are in the north and roughly a dozen near communities Buffalo Narrows, La Ronge, Denare Beach and Ile-a-la-Crosse have yet to be contained.

To date, there have been 541 wildfires in the province.

One of those fires has forced the recent evacuation of Southend; and earlier this month over 1,400 community members from Sandy Bay were transported to Prince Albert and Saskatoon.
