Saskatchewan is facing an increase in wildfires as dry conditions persist across the province. The Saskatchewan Volunteer Firefighters Association president, Louis Cherpin, attributes the rise in wildfires to the increasingly dry land and warmer temperatures. As of Monday, the province has experienced 83 fires, nearly four times the five-year average. Human activity is a significant contributor to wildfires, with actions like discarding cigarettes or burning debris potentially sparking uncontrolled fires. Residents are urged to take precautions by removing dead trees and debris from their properties, especially combustible materials like leaves.
