Massive Fire in #Halifax #NovaScotia Over 18000 people evacuated so far. My prayers go out to all first responders fighting and those affected. The fire started yesterday and rages on today. All we can hope for is that the sky opens up and the rain helps put out this #fire. pic.twitter.com/SIoVNLk016

Many of our friends so far have lost their homes in this fire. It is still burning out of control. We think our home is still fine but winds have shifted today and more towards or part of the neighbourhood. We have not been allowed home since Sunday afternoon. #NSFire #NS pic.twitter.com/YIwU6Xvaur
