This is Glen Haven, Nova Scotia (west of Halifax) the afternoon and evening of Friday June 13, 2008. A forest fire start early in the afternoon and qickly spread through the area along Route 333. The firefighters did a great job keeping it away from homes and emergency services kept everyone safe. At the same time as this fire a major forest fire was (and still is as of June 15) burning out of control in the Porters Lake/Lake Echo area to the east of Halifax.
This was taked from just outside our home, so I'm betting we're pretty close to you, on the other side of the road. That's good to hear that everyone was safe. It was pretty scary. Gives you a feel for what people must have been going through yesterday.
