Residents Demand Safety Before New Builds

Three years after a wildfire devastated Hammonds Plains, residents are demanding a pause on new construction—calling it unsafe without upgraded fire infrastructure and evacuation routes. The group Pockwock Corridor SAFE isn’t against growth, but insists safety must come first, especially with no fire hydrants along key roads. While Halifax says it’s studying evacuation challenges and planning new roads, locals feel ignored and vulnerable, pushing for immediate, concrete safety measures before another disaster strikes.
