Eight fire engines, 14 fire tankers, two Department of National Defence brush trucks and about 100 firefighters have been dispatched to help battle the out of control wildfire
Firefighters continued to battle a growing blaze in the Halifax area Wednesday, as gusting winds and more dry weather are expected to worsen the raging wildfire that has already burned at least 150 homes.
Mr. Meldrum warned the public to be ready for a long firefight. “We’ve got a lot of dry weather days ahead. We’ve got low humidities forecasted,” he said. Provincial and municipal officials amped up resources Wednesday to battle the out of control wildfire, dispatching eight fire engines, 14 fire tankers, two Department of National Defence brush trucks, and about 100 firefighters. Prince Edward Island has sent six firefighters to the area to help.
