Fire crews in northwest Saskatchewan are responding to a late-season wildfire within Meadow Lake Provincial Park.
The blaze was sparked on Wednesday near Kimball Lake and has since been dubbed the Kimball fire. According to the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency’s (SPSA) active incidents, the fire is roughly 64 hectares in size and was human-caused.
The SPSA said that crews are working near the fire’s perimeter using various pieces of equipment, like a helicopter, heavy machinery, and water trucks.
“Efforts are focused on hotspots near the perimeter, as well as pulling apart and extinguishing slash piles,” they said in an emailed response.
