NBFD deploys team to combat northern wildfires; City coordinating support for evacuees in North Battleford

The North Battleford Fire Department and the City of North Battleford deployed a team of six firefighters at the request of the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency to assist with combatting the wildfires in the La Ronge, SK area. The team departed just after 8am on June 3, 2025, transporting an engine truck, a command unit, and an all terrain side-by-side from the NBFD fleet to be used during this deployment.

Mayor Kelli Hawtin was on hand for the send-off at the Fire Department this morning and expressed, on behalf of the community, gratitude for answering the call to serve and support other communities during this provincial state of emergency. 

The City of North Battleford is actively working with multiple agencies and levels of government to support evacuees who are currently in North Battleford and to prepare for the anticipated arrival of additional evacuees in the community.
