Many fire bans north of Prince Albert heading into the weekend
It's looking like it will be a beautiful weekend across much of the province, but the dry weather is already resulting in fire bans in some areas north of Prince Albert.
As of today, April 25, 2025 there are 9 RM fire bans, 2 Urban Municipality fire bans, and 1 provincial park fire ban.
There is currently a fire near Montreal Lake, according to posts on Facebook.
The RM of Shellbrook, RM of Buckland, RM of Duck Lake, RM of Prince Albert, RM of Big River, and RM of Meadow Lake all currently have fire bans in place. The communities of Big River and Chitek Lake also both have fire bans. The RM of Loon Lake, RM of Paynton, and Sask River Forks Recreation Site have fire restrictions in place. There may be other bans in other areas, please check with your local authorities before starting a fire.
Have a great weekend and stay safe!
