Evacuations ordered as four homes burn in uncontained wildfire on James Smith Cree Nation
Four homes have been destroyed, and around a dozen others were evacuated as an out-of-control wildfire tore through James Smith Cree Nation (JSCN), displacing roughly 30 people.
The blaze, named 25PA-JSIR01, grew to over 100 hectares in size and was sparked on Friday evening by human activity, according to the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency (SPSA).
By late Sunday, the fire was listed as contained and a local fire suppression crew was working on hot spots.
Many of the evacuated residents had also returned to their homes.
