• Annapolis County remains under a local emergency with about 100 homes evacuated near West Dalhousie, and there are still no reports of damage to residences.
• The fire crossed West Dalhousie Road as teams focus on the northern flank, deploying sprinklers around homes and reinforcing dozer guards to hold lines.
• The response includes 93 provincial firefighters, 22 from Ontario, five from P.E.I., 25 volunteer firefighters, four water bombers from the Northwest Territories and a contracted helicopter.
• Easterly winds and a drier air mass tied to Hurricane Erin could bring challenging days this week, while Newfoundland’s Kingston fire has destroyed 203 structures and New Brunswick is battling four out-of-control fires.
