Yorkton RCMP and the Yorkton Fire Department were both on scene at the remnants of a bush fire west of the Kinsmen Arena and North of JayCee Beach Friday afternoon.
The fire site, which was still smoking when crews arrived had been seen by a man bicycling with his dog.
While not confirmed, it appeared the fire likely started  when someone started a fire to burn the covering off a small amount of copper wire.
Fire Chief Trevor Morrissey was on the scene and had a warning for people out walking to be careful as areas still have dry grass and even a tossed away cigarette butt can eventually lead to a fire.
