Thanks to some rainfall and cooler temperatures, the province is ending a fire ban that covered much of northern Saskatchewan.
The ban was put in place on May 22 when there were 21 active wildfires across Saskatchewan.
At that time, the entire province was under a high to extreme risk of fire.
On Wednesday morning, the Ministry of Environment officially ended the ban citing improved conditions and reduced wildfire activity.
The ministry's website indicated there were nine wildfires actively burning in Saskatchewan, and only one of those was listed as not contained.
The website also shows that most of the province only has a moderate to high risk of fire currently.
The ministry notes that while it's lifting the fire ban at the provincial level, some municipalities may still have their own fire bans in place.
There have been 273 wildfires in Saskatchewan so far in 2015.
