Raging Wildfires Force Saskatchewan into State of Emergency

 

Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe has declared a provincewide state of emergency as wildfires continue to spread uncontrollably across the region. The declaration, which will remain in effect for 30 days, grants emergency powers to officials to mobilize resources and protect communities.

The fires have already forced more than 4,000 residents to evacuate, with the hardest-hit area being Pelican Narrows, near the Manitoba border. Saskatchewan is the second province to declare an emergency, following Manitoba’s decision on Wednesday as fires displaced 17,000 people, including all residents of Flin Flon.

Premier Moe emphasized the urgency of the situation, stating that the province needs rainfall to help contain the fires, but forecasts remain dry. Officials are urging residents to report wildfires and stay informed through daily updates from the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency.
