It’s been a hectic week for fire crews and support staff tackling a historic wildfire in Shelburne County, but heavy rainfall this weekend and additional reinforcements from the United States are helping lighten the load for firefighters.
With a swath of wildfires burning across Nova Scotia, the province’s Department of Natural Resources and Renewables (DNRR) has issued a Friday evening update on the status of the fires.
Officials said on Saturday morning that although the wildfire in the Tantallon area is no longer spreading, it could be weeks or months before it can officially be confirmed ‘out’.
