Okay, so Saskatchewan is straight-up on fire, no cap. Premier dude had to call a "provincial wildfire state of emergency" 'cause there are like, 17 fires blazing rn. Fam had to evacuate 15 towns. Weather's not vibing, says no rain is coming. Three First Nations are like, "Yo, we need backup!" 'Cause they're low-key running out of fire-fighting gear and peeps. Even Manitoba's in a state of emergency from before. It's a whole disaster fr fr.

The Deets

Aight, listen up, Saskatchewan is not playing around. The Premier just dropped the bomb and declared a "provincial wildfire state of emergency." Why? Because there are SEVENTEEN wildfires going wild rn. That's not a typo, bestie, SEVENTEEN.

And it gets worse. Like, 15 communities had to bounce, they straight up evacuated. The weather report is giving major L vibes too – apparently, no rain is on the horizon, so things are about to get even more cooked.

But wait, there's more! The Lac La Ronge Indian Band, Peter Ballantyne Cree Nation, and Montreal Lake Cree Nation are all like, "Yo, we're in a joint state of emergency too!" They're screaming for more firefighters, equipment, and air support because they're running on fumes. It's that bad.

Oh, and just to add to the chaos, Manitoba declared a state of emergency a day before. So, yeah, Canada's prairies are having a major moment rn.

Also this year, there have been 206 wildfires, and the SPSA will be giving daily reports. The average over five years has been 125. If you want to report wildfires, call 1-800-667-9660 or 9-1-1, or contact the SPSA.

This state of emergency lasts 30 days but may be extended.
