RM of Corman Park declares fire ban

Very dry conditions have led the Rural Municipality of Corman Park to bring in a fire ban.

Multiple fires have broken out across the province over the past week. A lack of snow has meant grass fires can quickly get out of control.

Now, the rural municipality that rings the city of Saskatoon has put a stop to any controlled burns of grassy areas until further notice.
