HALIFAX For the second time in the past seven years, Danny Osborne has fled his home because of a wildfire. In May 2016, he escaped the devastating fires in Fort McMurray, Alta., which forced the evacuation of 90,000 people and destroyed 2,400 homes and businesses. But his Alberta home survived the disaster.
Firefighters on Wednesday faced a grueling uphill battle against wildfires in Canada's Nova Scotia province, including one threatening suburbs of Halifax.
