FOG BLOG ATLANTIC LOG: CREWS OUT IN FORCE TO BATTLE OUT OF CONTROL WILD FIRE IN SHELBURNE CO. N.S.!

Out of control wildfire in Shelburne County, N.S. Fire crews and the Department of Natural Resources and Renewables (DNRR) are on the scene of an out of control wildfire in the Little Harbour area of Shelburne County, N.S.

According to the province, the wildfire is estimated to be 10 hectares in size.

First responders include 13 DNRR staff, two DNRR helicopters, and 43 volunteer firefighters from Lockeport, Little Harbour, Shelburne and Sable River, with ten more DNRR staff members on the way.

Shelburne resident Roddy Conrad says he was travelling down Litttle Harbour Rd around 1:30 p.m. and noticed smoke in the area and it quickly grew out of control.

"Within 20 minutes that little puff of grey smoke was just billowing," said Conrad. "It grew quick and then the fire crews came in."

Conrad captured video from Litttle Harbour Road and said he heard a pair of explosions. "The fire got into something," said Conrad.

In a tweet, DNRR says there are no confirmed reports of structural damage.
