Nova Scotia battling out-of-control wildfire, with one eye on Hurricane Erin
August 20, 2025
Scott Tingley with Nova Scotia’s Department of Natural Resources says it’s rare to be simultaneously monitoring a hurricane while fighting wildfires in the province.
The Long Lake wildfire in the Annapolis Valley remains out of control, and is composed of a series of fires that cover roughly 32 square kilometres of land. Meanwhile Hurricane Erin, tracking northward between the Carolinas and Bermuda, is expected to bring strong winds to Nova Scotia by Friday into Saturday – but no rainfall.
