The Manitoba Wildfire Service is advising that even though there have been improvements in weather conditions, the fire danger levels remain high for the upcoming weekend.
Fire and travel restrictions will continue.
All provincial burning permits remain cancelled province-wide, and new permits will not be issued until conditions improve.
