With a hot weekend on the way, the Manitoba Sustainable Development and the Office of the Fire Commissioner is reminding people there is a higher danger that a wild fire can start.
As of today, there have been more than 443 fires this season burning in Western Canada.
This week, a water bomber from Newfoundland and Labrador arrived in Manitoba and is helping with wildfire suppression operations in the province.
Wildfire initial attack crews and staff from the Office of the Fire Commissioner have set up pumps and sprinklers to protect about 30 structures in the community of Kinoosao, in northern Saskatchewan which is about 100 kilometers west of Lynn Lake.
The province is asking anyone planning a backcountry trip to be aware that campfires should only be started in designated fire pits. However, the province says a better option is to prepare meals on a lightweight portable cook stove.
