Fire crews are continuing to battle a number of wildfires raging in the province, which have so far destroyed dozens of homes and forced the evacuations of thousands of people.
Officials say the wildfire burning in the Upper Tantallon, N.S., area has grown to 837 hectares.
Despite some of their biggest challenges yet, firefighters across the Halifax Regional Municipality and beyond have been responding to numerous out-of-control wildfires this week.
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.
As a more-than 800-hectare wildfire continues to burn in the Halifax area, police are warning the public about a suspicious call reported Wednesday.
