The Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency gave an update on how they expect to see the upcoming fire season play out.
As things warm up in Saskatchewan, the risk of wildfires bumps back up across the province and the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency (SPSA) is calling on the public to help prevent spring fires.
The Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency gave an update on the upcoming fire season, saying that fire crews started early to get ready for this year.
Marlo Pritchard, SPSA president, said that on average, half of wildfires each year are started by people.
“As a result I urge everyone to take extreme precautions during the spring and early summer months,” Pritchard said.
He said we saw below-average precipitation during the winter months and that several areas are at a higher risk of fire.
Pritchard said they were expecting above-average temperatures for spring, but possible cooler and wetter temperatures during the summer.
Steve Roberts, vice-president of operations for SPSA that ground crews should be ready to respond to fires by next week.
He said there were 220 type one firefighters and 410 type two firefighters being staffed for 2024, which is the same as last year, but added that there is room to expand if need be.
