Smoke was visible in the Regina area for much of Thursday evening as firefighters battled an extensive grass fire north of the city, all while a second fire destroyed a big historic red barn nearby.
Emergency crews from Regina, the Lumsden Fire Department and surrounding communities were called out when flames that later reached about a metre in height broke out east of Lumsden yesterday afternoon.
The fire was whipped along by a strong wind and although it was suppressed, firefighters kept watch overnight for flare-ups.
Lumsden fire officials confirmed the fire has been contained, but caused damage to nearby structures, and reported a garage, multiple sheds and a house among the wreckage.
Other reports indicated that the Happy Hollow Corn Maze may have been damaged, however, officials were able to confirm it was not affected.
