Saskatoon (Saskatchewan) Fire Department on Monday responded to a controlled burn that went out of control and ignited a large area of grass, threatening the Beaver Creek Conservation Area.
According to a report, the football field-sized fire was moving towards the campground structures. Firefighters were able to keep the flames away from the buildings and bring the fire under control around 1:30 p.m.
“Fire crews made protecting the structures their priority by extinguishing and pushing the fire away from the buildings,” the SFD release said.
