Nova Scotia firefighters using helicopters to locate Shelburne wildfire hot spots
Officials with the province’s Department of Natural Resources will be flying over the fire this week in southwest Nova Scotia and using infrared scanners to detect areas where firefighters should be dispatched.

The Department of Natural Resources says estimates for the size of the blaze may fluctuate as firefighters access remote areas on foot and obtain more precise information about the fire.
