This week we focus on: Fire Bans
There are no active provincial fire bans in Saskatchewan.
Campfire restrictions may be put in place for specific provincial parks and recreation sites, based on local conditions. More information can be found at Tourism Saskatchewan.
Municipalities, regional, and national parks may also ban open burning in their areas of responsibility. Check with your local authority to find out if there are burning restrictions in place for your area or where you plan to travel.
View the list of municipal fire bans that have been reported to the Controlled Burn Line.
To add or remove a fire ban from this list, municipalities should call the Controlled Burn Line at 1-866-404-4911.
