A total fire ban has been implemented in the rural municipality (RM) of Corman Park, due to dry conditions.
The ban was put in place on April 17 and does not allow for any open fires within the RM, which surrounds Saskatoon, until it is lifted.
This requires all outdoor fires to be extinguished and the lighting of any is prohibited.
