Sask returns fire ban north of provincial forest boundary

The Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency (SPSA) has issued a fire ban effective at 8 a.m. on July 10, 2025, due to high fire activity and extreme fire risk.

The ban covers the area north of the provincial forest boundary, up to the Churchill River.

The fire ban prohibits any open fires, controlled burns and fireworks in the designated boundary. This includes provincial parks, provincial recreation sites and the Northern Saskatchewan Administration District within the boundary. The ban does not include ATV/UTV restrictions at this time.

A list of fire bans and restrictions in Saskatchewan provincial parks and recreation sites is online. For Alberta, similar information is also online.

For areas immediately east of Lloydminster, fire bans are in place in Loon Lake, Frenchman Butte, and Onion Lake. A fire restriction is in place in Wilton.

West of Lloydminster, fire restrictions remain in the County of Vermilion River.

The Saskatchewan and Alberta fire bans are available online using these links.

Gerry has lived in Lloydminster since winter 2010. That detail is important as coming from the Caribbean he did not see green grass until May. Now an Alberta/Western Canada resident, you would be hard-pressed to find a stronger proponent of Lloydminster than the news guy that appreciates a healthy dose of rock music and dress code leather. His mantra is focus on one thing and do it well.
