Wildfire on Nova Scotia's Eastern Shore | Toronto News

Wildfire rages across Nova Scotia’s Eastern Shore near Mooseland Road, devouring 300 hectares of forest—thankfully, no towns are in immediate danger. An evacuation order covers 22 km of road after the blaze crossed it, triggering power outages and spotty cell service. Residents describe a sudden, terrifying surge yesterday evening, with some fleeing hastily and others, like one homeowner with packed bags, staying put. Remote property owners are stressed, with one narrowly rescuing family heirlooms. Rain overnight offered relief, but officials warn the forest remains dangerously dry. Helicopters and water bombers from Nova Scotia and Newfoundland are deployed, and everyone’s hoping for more rain Sunday. A stark reminder: rural communities must always be ready to evacuate at a moment’s notice—wildfire season is here.
