Crews in Nova Scotia continue fighting an out-of-control wildfire located northeast of Halifax. According to reports, firefighting efforts involve both provincial and interprovincial resources. Two fixed-wing water bombers from Newfoundland and Labrador are assisting, alongside four fixed-wing water bombers operated by Nova Scotia. Nova Scotia also deploys helicopters, with two of the province’s helicopters supporting the response.
The reports describe the wildfire as ongoing and not yet contained, with aircraft used to slow fire spread and support ground operations. The location northeast of Halifax places the blaze within the broader Halifax region, and the response continues as weather and fire behaviour remain key factors. Multiple aviation assets are being coordinated to deliver water or retardant on active areas of the fire, while provincial crews maintain the broader ground response.
No additional details about evacuations, injuries, or the estimated size of the fire were provided in the excerpts.
