REGINA — The latest update from Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency has been posted and it shows little change compared to the previous day.
As of 10:30 a.m. on Friday, there are 79 active wildfires in Saskatchewan — an overall number unchanged from the day before.
Of those active fires, five are contained, 12 are not contained, 40 are ongoing assessments and 22 are protecting values.
Also, currently four communities are under an evacuation order and those are: La Plonge Reserve; Northern Hamlet of Jans Bay; Patuanak/English River First Nation; as well as priority individuals from the Northern Village of Beauval.
Firefighters are continuing to benefit from improved weather conditions and more moisture, conditions that resulted in the fire ban lifted across the North on Wednesday night.
In their previous update on Thursday SPSA officials reported that the Ditch, Shoe and Wolf fires were now listed as "contained."
