Saskatchewan seeks feedback for wildfire review

The provincial government wants feedback from people affected by the 2015 wildfire season.

An online survey called the Wildfire Response Survey has been launched as part of a comprehensive review of the largest emergency response in Saskatchewan's history.

• 'Unprecedented' wildfires force out 13,000 Sask. evacuees
• Saskatchewan wildfires dampened by rain

"This summer, northern Saskatchewan people faced an unprecedented emergency situation," said Government Relations Minister Jim Reiter in a news release. "Thankfully, we had no serious injuries or lives lost and were able to limit property damage through the north."

"Now it's important for us to listen to those most affected and see if we can make improvements," he added.

The review will also bebased onmeetings with northern leaders, northern emergency management teamsand industry, as well asaninternalreview.

Saskatchewan residents will be able to access the survey online starting Oct. 19. Hardcopies will be available at all northern municipal and band offices.
