Swift Current and Lac Pelletier RMs added to active fire bans

This morning, The Ministry of Parks, Culture and Sport issued two fire bans in the Southwest due to dry, hot conditions.

Effective immediately, a ban is now in effect for the RM of Swift Current and the RM of Lac Pelletier.

CSA-approved self-contained portable gas heating devices and fire pits, and barbeques will be permitted for cooking and heating purposes during the duration of the ban.

The ban will stay in place until conditions improve.
