There's a pretty serious forest fire taking place just outside of Halifax on the Dartmouth side of the harbour. It's been going on for almost 30 hours now, is covering a 15 X 2 km area, and about 4000 people have been evacuated from their homes.

Thankfully no one has been seriously hurt, and kudos to all the firefighters and emergency personal that have been working hard for more than a day now.
