Cares were seen heading away from the area on Sunday afternoon.
On Wednesday, Insp. Don Moser presented the RCMP's after-action report of the wildfire last May to the city's board of police commissioners.The Halifax RCMP say lessons from last year's wildfire in Upper Tantallon, N.S., have helped Mounties across Canada headed into fire zones.
Moser said the smoke and air quality issues officers dealt with made the RCMP realize properly fitted respiratory equipment should be on hand when going into a fire zone. He said that policy was adopted across Canada. Another strength was the RCMP's new mobile app that tracks members in real time, so it was clear where officers were, Moser said. That technology came out of recommendations from the Mass Casualty Commission after the shootings that began in Portapique four years ago.
Moser said they are also considering backup generators for RCMP stations in case of power outages, and whether Halifax should have its own mobile command post rather than relying on the one shared by RCMP across the province.
