Wildfire season is here, and we want to proactively keep residents and visitors to Flin Flon informed!
We’ve set up this webpage where we will be logging all of the City of Flin Flon's wildfire notices through the summer, so you can find the most up-to-date notices regarding fire restrictions, road closures, and more within the City of Flin Flon's jurisdiction.
We may report information from the broader region when we directly receive it or spot it online. However, residents should also follow other community communication channels as they relate to you, including the Town of Creighton, Town of The Pas, The Village of Denare Beach, and the Province of Manitoba to ensure they're receiving all relevant information.
We will also be sharing information through social media and CFAR as well, but our goal is to keep a one-stop shop for the most up-to-date information here!
To report a wildfire, call 1-800-782-0076, or simply 9-11. To report a fire in the community, call 9-11.

Provincial Fire Danger Advisory, May 9, 2025, 4:05pm
The Province of Manitoba has issued a Fire Danger Advisory through the Alert Ready system, stating the following:
"Southern and Central areas of Manitoba have a high to extreme fire danger. Current conditions pose a serious threat to public safety, and emergency response may be limited given the current demand on provincial and local firefighting resources."
The situation in Flin Flon has not changed, and the community is not in immediate danger.
However, the alert does reinforce the fact that emergency services are currently very busy, and it is extremely important that we all do our part not to create an additional burden on our regional firefighters and first responders. Please follow all fire bans and restrictions on motorized off-road travel, and exercise good judgment above and beyond what is legally required.
Highway Travel and Wildfire Update, May 9, 2025
As of this morning, Highway 106 (also known as the Hanson Lake Highway) is closed due to a wildfire near Caribou Creek. For more information, call the Saskatchewan Highways hotline at 1-844-754-4929 for more information.
As of right now, Highway 10 remains open, and winds are currently favourable to maintaining access on the highway.
In addition to the existing restrictions on fire within city limits, motorized off-road traffic is now prohibited within Flin Flon's city limits, due to the potential to ignite dry grass and foliage with hot engine components.
