With no significant rain in the forecast... the province is on high alert for wildfires.

Steve Roberts is the Executive Director of Wildfire Management and explained that this is an unusual spring.

"Currently we have 13 active fires, 181 fires year to date. Our 5 year average is 122 so we're above average for this time of year."

The Tuff fire that has claimed over a dozen cabins at Meadow Lake Provincial Park is said to be one of the worst, out of control wildfires right now in terms of provincial responsibility;

"It is not yet contained at this time. We have over 250 personnel, 17 pieces of heavy equipment, and 9 helicopters all supported by air tankers as required. Southern parts of that fire are reasonably contained, but the northern portions of that fire remain active at this time."

Saskatchewan firefighters, along with crews from Little Red First Nation, Alberta and Ontario have also joined in efforts to help federal fire response at Prince Albert National Park where the Rabbit Creek fire continues to burn on the south side of the park.

Parks Canada issued a statement Monday saying the fire has has grown to 24,000 hectares in size, resulting in the closure of a number of areas around the park to ensure safety, including all back-country campsites and trails

"Provincially we also have the fire ban for all areas south of the Churchill river system to the US border - That will continue. We don't have any rain coming or any sufficient rain, so that fire ban will remain in effect".

With the concerns right now, there fire bans issued last week for crown land and provincial parks will continue into the foreseeable future. But down south of Moose Jaw... the RM of Baildon has pulled their fire ban.
