South Grass Fire

At 3:37 p.m., the Saskatoon Fire Department received a report of smoke showing South of the city off Highway 11 and West of Victor Road.  Upon arrival, first arriving fire crews identified a field on fire.  Fire crews were on scene at 3:50 p.m.  The Battalion Chief requested additional resources for water supply. Fire had gotten into some brush.  Crews began ensuring no occupants or structures were threatened.  Fire quickly spread to other sections of land due to wind gusting up to 48 km/hr.  

An hour into the incident, another fire service was requested to assist from Clavet.  

This is an active fire at this time, the SFD has three fire engines, two tanker trucks, two brush trucks, the Battalion and Deputy Chief on scene along with our mobile command unit.
