Direct link to August 26th video from CBC News Nova Scotia
Thanks to a friend in eastern Canada who told me about the West Dalhousie/Long Lake Wildfire that is currently burning in Nova Scotia. The latest information is that this wildfire has burned 8,278 hectare (20,455 acres) with approximately 1,000 people being evacuated due to this wildfire that was first reported on August 13th. The fire is categorized as being out of control. For more information see this August 27th (9:31 AM) article from CBC Nova Scotia with photos and a video. Another media report on this fire may be found on Global News (dated on or about August 26th. You may also want to see the Interactive Map from Canada's Natural Resources that I accessed a couple of hours ago, the fire name is "06-007-2025"
According to the latest updates from Nova Scotia DNR posted on X (formerly Twitter) that I am unable to embed but you can find the information about this fire at the Nova Scotia DNR post to X (formerly Twitter) at 10:10 AM on August 27th (note that you may not be able to access the link without an account on X). To review what the Nova Scotia DNR said this morning: "The Long Lake Wildfires Complex is now estimated at 8,278 hectares. ... no new reports of damage to homes. ...
