A couple of vehicle caused wildfires have sparked some concern in the regional municipalities surrounding Swift Current.

Reeve for the RM of Sask Landing Darwin Johnsgaard says they responded to a fire on Sunday that came dangerously close to one person's home.

"That particular fire was started by a vehicle out doing some site seeing of wild life," Johnsgaard said.

"It burned about 40 acres and the fire was stopped a couple of hundred feet from (someone's) house."

There was another vehicle caused wildfire elsewhere in the region just minutes after they put the first one out.

Johnsgaard is asking anyone doing any wild life watching or hunting to leave their vehicles on the road.
