Officials Say Halifax Wildfire that Prompted Evacuations Is Being Held (Canada)
Firefighters from 14 stations and multiple aircraft battled the 30-hectare Susies Lake wildfire, which forced evacuations and closures of local businesses and a medical centre, officials said.
- Yesterday, a wildfire broke out in the Susies Lake area, prompting the evacuation of three businesses in Bayers Lake.
- Amid local development debates, the underpass’s route led to siting the Community Outpatient Centre in a fire-prone location, the McNeil government’s decision widely panned.
- Amid escalating conditions, crews from 14 stations responded, and were soon joined by two helicopters and four fixed-wing aircraft, last night’s fire covered around 30 hectares.
- That evacuation included the Bayers Lake Community Outpatient Centre, which remained closed for at least two days, disrupting services for patients and staff.
- Amid tinderbox conditions, Premier Tim Houston said the province of Nova Scotia warned the next few weeks will be difficult as rain is needed.
