Escaping the fast-moving Halifax wildfire

An apocalyptic scene outside of Halifax as an out-of-control wildfire forced thousands to make a terrifying escape. Caryn Ceolin with how residents in the line of fire are coping.

176 Wildfires and the question of how/why did they start never comes up...and just for the record Halifax has received a totally normal amount of rain for the month of May (3.3")

My sister lives off of Lucasville Rd very close to the Fire and they evacuated immediately. Hope everyone is OK and The Fire is under control. Stay safe people

15 minute cities. Thank you for all your compliance for the past 3 years. Great job! You helped destroy the old world.

Newfoundlander here, Please get out of there & God Bless you all! Stay safe!!!

Purposely set? This just seems a lot like California (USA) over the last years - firefighters there attempted to speak out about fire anomalies and were shut down, faster than tomorrow morning. Be skeptical folks!

That's how distraction is implemented. Weaponize your emotions.

People are setting these. Don't tell me they're not.

The same things happened to my family, they left the house because there’s an open house for buyers. Out of a sudden, emergency alerted of wildfire. Road are blocked right away, so we didn’t brought anything with us except just our clothes.
