Nova Scotia RCMP say they have issued 10 summary offence tickets since the province issued a ban on burning and another on travelling in the woods because of raging wildfires.
Crews battling wildfires in Nova Scotia, which includes the largest wildfire ever recorded in provincial history, could get some welcome relief Friday with rain in the forecast.
On Wednesday, it was reported that the fire spreading throughout the Shelburne County area had reached over 17,000 hectares, making it the largest wildfire in Nova Scotia history.
