If you are planning to burn in or within 4.5 kilometers of the provincial forest during the wildfire season (April 1 to October 31), you also need a burn notification number from the local SPSA Protection Area 306-953-3423.

Sometimes you will need to burn grass, bush piles or stubble.  Please be sure you are well-prepared and that you have fire guards in place.  These "controlled burns" should also be reported to avoid dispatching firefighters unnecessarily.
