Apr 21, 2026 | 11:09 AM

Season Four of the acclaimed docuseries Guardians of the North launches Tuesday night and over the course of six episodes will focus on wildfires in the La Ronge area.

The series, which represents a partnership between the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency (SPSA) and Wavelength Entertainment, can be followed on CityTV Saskatchewan.

“This docuseries accentuates the dedication of first responders who provided firefighting, search and rescue and emergency response services during the unprecedented 2025 wildfire season,” Community Safety Minister Michael Weger said. “Communities, agencies and first responders worked tirelessly in protecting the people of Saskatchewan, and this series provides us a deeper understanding of the work involved.”

The magnitude of the 2025 wildfire season, which had saw more than 500 wildfires in the province burn 2.9 million hectares, is captured in the docuseries.

“Season Four captures the scale and intensity of the unprecedented 2025 wildfire season, but more importantly, it shows the discipline, decision-making and resilience of the people on the front lines protecting northern communities,” Wavelength Entertainment Principal Partner and Guardians of the North producer Chris Trillo said. “We witnessed the best crews, supervisors, coordinators, pilots, and community responders working under extreme pressure to protect lives and communities. Their grit, heart, and relentless dedication to protecting lives and resources is nothing short of heroic.”

While educating the audience about how the SPSA responds to emergencies, the Agency acknowledged some of the episodes may be emotional for viewers to watch.

The SPSA receives no financial benefit from the show and is working closely with Wavelength Entertainment to ensure each episode is respectful of the stories being told.
