#NSStorm conditions are affecting EHS responses. Don't hesitate to call 911 for medical emergencies–the EHS Medical Communications Centre Clinical Team is there to provide care. Stay home if travel isn’t necessary. The safety of our crews & all Nova Scotians is our top priority.
Hurricane Lee is projected to make landfall in Nova Scotia late Saturday based on current forecasts. Now is a good time to ensure you are prepared as it is no longer simply a hypothetical situation. Follow official forecasts and guidance. I will continue to monitor and will do storm coverage Saturday and beyond as needed. Thanks
@HRMFireNews are there any other Water Bombers available nearby? Maine,Quebec? I understand there are many wildfires elsewhere. Or are the skies already to saturated with air traffic?

We apologize for any inconvenience.
While the the very important and required services to tackle the #TantallonFire have been phenomenal, I have to say I am underwhelmed by @CTVAtlantic and @CBCNS efforts at covering/informing. Well done @HRMFireNews, you have filled this gap.
@HRMFireNews certainly has been keeping us up to date on the Tantallon fires. City declares State of Emergency without any communication to those affected. We will expect some sort of formal press conference/sharing of information by early afternoon today.
Tantallon: respectfully, the municipality needs to seriously step up its public information operations, forthwith. Getting tons and tons of questions from concerned residents, some of which could be alleviated with more proactive communications. Very little info coming out of HRM
Little Harbour, Shelburne Co update (5:33pm): Wildfire is still out of control and is estimated at 10 hectares. 7 DNRR staff, 2 DNRR helicopters, and local firefighters on scene. There are reports of RCMP evacuating homes. See next update here after 7 pm.
Albro Lake: command reports they have located a 100'x100' section of brush on fire in the woods, they're going to use 12E and 13Q crews for extinguishment.
