Saskatchewan declares state of emergency as wildfires worsen

  • On Thursday, Saskatchewan’s Premier Scott Moe announced a state of emergency across the entire province in response to widespread, uncontrollable wildfires affecting large areas of Saskatchewan and Western Canada.
  • The declaration follows multiple fires that began Monday near Creighton, Saskatchewan, crossed into Manitoba, and prompted Manitoba's emergency declaration a day earlier.
  • Saskatchewan faces 17 active wildfires with eight uncontained, leading to over 4,000 mainly remote northeast residents evacuating, while three First Nations have declared localized emergencies.
  • Premier Moe emphasized the gravity of the wildfire crisis in Saskatchewan and announced a 14-day state of emergency, with the option to extend, to streamline firefighting coordination.
  • The emergency enables improved intergovernmental coordination to combat fires and may result in federal aid requests if conditions worsen given resource shortages and ongoing smoke.
