The Shaunavon Fire Department were called out on Thursday morning May 11th at approximately 11:15.

Crews responded to a grass fire in a field next to a farm fifteen miles southwest of Shaunavon.

Kevin Szwetz from The Shaunavon Fire Department says residents of the farm were doing a pit burn and when the winds picked up the fire got out of control.

There was no damage reported and no injuries.

The Shaunavon Fire Department reminds everyone that, although it may not seem like it, conditions are very dry right now. Please use extreme caution when burning.
