Released on May 29, 2025
Due to the wildfires affecting communities across Saskatchewan, today Premier Scott Moe, in conjunction with the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency (SPSA), declared a provincial State of Emergency.
As of this morning, there are 17 active wildfires in Saskatchewan and 15 communities have evacuated. To date this year, there have been 206 wildfires, well above the five-year average of 125.
“We are seeing the devastating effects of wildfires impact communities across our province,” Moe said. “Therefore, today we are making a Provincial Declaration of Emergency to mobilize the resources necessary to safely evacuate Saskatchewan residents and to protect our communities.”
This declaration provides enhanced powers to the Minister and SPSA that may be required to help address this unprecedented start of the fire season.
The province does not take the exercise of these powers lightly, but they are necessary to enhance public safety.
The state of emergency will be in effect for 30 days and can be extended if necessary.
The SPSA has committed to providing daily updates on the current wildfire situation to ensure that Saskatchewan residents are provided with the most up to date information.
Established in 2017, the SPSA is a treasury board crown corporation responsible for wildfire management, emergency management, Sask911, SaskAlert, the Civic Addressing Registry, the Provincial Disaster Assistance Program and fire safety.
Anyone who spots a wildfire can call 1-800-667-9660, dial 9-1-1 or contact their closest SPSA Forest Protection Area office.
