As heavier winds have assailed the southeast recently, that's posed a problem for fire departments in the area who have to deal with emergencies that pop up.
A heavier wind can mean trees falling on powerlines and causing a fire, or a fire that may have been minor gets flared up and spreads quickly with the help of the wind.
Brad Hutton, the fire chief for the Redvers Fire Department, says that they recently had to deal with a tough, windy fire over the weekend.
"We had four or five different incidents. one was a round baler fire, and then we had a combine started a field on fire. We had one just incident with a bathroom ceiling fan caught on fire. Didn't do a lot of fire damage to that, got contained real quick, but it burned into the attic a bit and a lot of smoke damage though."
As well, Estevan Fire Rescue responded to a number of calls on Saturday when wind gusts went up to 107 km/h.
That included three different calls under two hours that involved branches falling onto power lines and starting fires, which required the assistance of SaskPower.
EFR also had their own grass fire to deal with during the wind which didn't do any damage or cause any injuries south of town.
Hutton says that he did see one fire that happened in the southeast recently that was a tough fight, needing the help of some local farming equipment.
"One did get away out by the Manor-Carlyle area and you have to get a hold of some discs and equipment and graders and stuff and try to get close to the fire to start getting a bit of a slowdown break. It just carries out, so it's going to keep jumping. So you're going to be moving ahead in 100-meter increments kind of thing just to keep ahead of the flames that are travelling through the dry stubbles. Yeah, they're real battle to get out."
