Members of the Canadian military, along with several American firefighters, arrived in Nova Scotia on Saturday to assist in the continued fight to contain several wildfires.
The province announced on Sunday that the fire in Tantallon, which destroyed about 200 buildings and caused thousands to evacuate, is now under control.
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.
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’.
