Evacuations continue as N.S. wildfire intensifies

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 25 Aug, 2025 09:39 AM
  • Evacuations continue as N.S. wildfire intensifies

Some who call Nova Scotia's Annapolis Valley home are keeping a close eye on an out-of-control wildfire to see if an evacuation order will be expanded in the area.

The province's Department of Emergency Management asked people on Sunday night living along a portion of Highway 10 in the West Dalhousie area to leave their homes as the Long Lake wildfire roared nearby.

It wasn't the first time area fire officials had asked people to evacuate on Sunday, as an alert was issued earlier in the day calling on people living on parts of Morse Road and Thorne Road to flee. 

The wildfire was estimated to be around 32 square kilometres earlier on Sunday, though officials said later in the day that the blaze had grown.

There are currently three wildfires burning in Nova Scotia, with the Long Lake wildfire being the only blaze that's classified as out-of-control.
