2025 wildfire season
Spring starts with grass fires and a burning ban
Apr 21, 2025 | 3:59 PM
With the departure of the snow and while waiting for grass to turn green, wildfire season has begun.
On April 21, the RM of Prince Albert announced a fire ban, which means that no lighting of open fires is allowed, and all existing burn permits are suspended. Fireworks are also prohibited.
Nearby, the RM of Buckland’s fire department has dealt with multiple grass fires in the last several weeks.
On April 16, crews were called to a re-kindled fire on Gardener Road and said the situation was aggravated by 57 km/hour winds.
