The Municipality of the County of Annapolis has received preliminary reports of structural damage in the area affected by the West Dalhousie wildfire. At this time, details remain limited as the Department of Emergency Management (DEM) has not yet been able to fully access the site to assess the situation.

“This is news none of us wanted to hear,” said Warden Diane LeBlanc. “Our hearts are broken for those who have been impacted, and we want our residents to know we are here for them. The safety and well-being of evacuees remain our first priority as we continue to support DNR in managing this wildfire.”

Residents are asked to remain patient as emergency teams work to gain safe access and gather accurate information. Official updates will be shared as soon as verified details become available.

The Municipality encourages residents to continue using the Alertable app and visiting AnnapolisREMO.ca, Annapolis County and official Nova Scotia government websites and socials to stay informed; as well as, the West Dalhousie Wildfire Public Information: 1-833-806-1515

Support services remain in place for evacuees and affected residents.

“Our community is strong, and we will face this together,” added LeBlanc.
