RCMP say no one is in danger as a forest fire burns close to a northern Saskatchewan community.

A fire is raging just 30 kilometres away from Patuanak, Sask., according to residents of the community.

RCMP say water bombers from La Ronge have so far kept the fire, which started Friday, away from the highway leading into and out of Patuanak.

No properties have been damaged so far and communities likely won’t be evacuated, Mounties say.
