Emergency crews were on the scene of a wildfire just off Highway 39 just north and west of Weyburn, and south of McTaggart.

Due to reduced visibility, drivers were being asked to avoid the area, however, they had been requesting that people with cultivators come to help create a wind block west of Main Track Cafe to help stop the fire.

The grid road was temporarily blocked off, as was Highway 13 west of Weyburn.

The Weyburn Therapeutic Animal Park has offered up space for anyone in need of temporary housing for their livestock.

Weyburn Fire Services reported the fire was under control before 6:00 p.m. Wednesday. They battled the fire with the help of the Yellow Grass Fire Brigade. 

The Weyburn Fire Brigade was, however, unable to host their open house this evening, and it was cancelled.
