City fire crews and public safety partners continue to work to battle the approximately 40 square kilometer Cloverdale Fire northeast of Prince Albert. Residents who were evacuated south of the White Star Road earlier this week are not allowed to return home at this time.
The fire is still not contained, and shifting, high winds continue to make fighting the fire a challenge. Additional residents were evacuated Tuesday afternoon and the City of Prince Albert remains in regular contact with them. As of this morning residents in the Berg Subdivision of Garden River have been ordered to evacuate. Residents have been notified. Any new areas under threat will be notified and updated evacuation orders posted to Sask Alert.
As of Wednesday at 10 a.m., no residential structures have been reported lost due to the fire. City Fire Fighters continue to sprinkler homes in the City limits to protect residential structures. The City has registered 75 evacuated households to date.
Members with the Prince Albert Police Service are patrolling in the area. Little Red River Park remains closed.
Evacuees are being reminded to register with the City of Prince Albert if they haven’t done so already, either by calling 306-953-4816 or going to directly to the Margo Fournier Centre at 1211 1st Avenue West.
Any questions related to power in the area can be directed to SaskPower for updates.
Highway road closures remain in effect. Please check highway hotline for updates. https://hotline.gov.sk.ca/mobile/#map
