SASKATOON -- A controlled burn became unmanageable near Saskatoon on Tuesday afternoon, the fire department said.
The fire was near Highway 16 North and Range Road 3062, according to a news release.
Water tankers were being used to shuttle and store water until needed for use by the brush trucks, and a farmer used a tractor to help control the spread of the fire.
Late Tuesday evening, fire crews successfully stopped the spread of the fire and got it under control. As the area the fire was located falls outside of the Saskatoon Fire Department's investigative jurisdiction, a damage estimate will not be provided.
