‘Under control’: Wildfire in the Halifax area 100% contained, officials say
“Residents may not be able to return to the area of significant impact for several days, pending the completion of safety assessments. While the broader evacuation area was less severely impacted by fire, there are many properties that have been impacted by smoke and debris.”
The wildfire covered 250 square kilometres as of Sunday morning and has destroyed at least 50 homes and cottages, forcing more than half of the county’s residents to evacuate. “Firefighters from Maine, New Hampshire, Connecticut, and New York are now on site to support the more than 190 personnel working tirelessly to fight the wildfires in our area,” the release said.
