Efforts to fight Lake George Wildfire continue

Local News

The wildfire in Lake George continues to burn out of control at this hour. 

There are currently two CL-415 water bombers along with four NWT 802 skimmers working the fire at this hour along with helicopters. 

Additonal tankers from neighbouring volunteer fire departments are enroute and structural fire protection gear from Halifax Regional Fire is also on the way. 

Winds gust have increased significantly in the past hour and the change in wind direction has shifted the fire course since last night. 

Heavy machinery working to create fire breaks in Lake George.
