Thanks for this. I'll note that the best information we have is coming from an unofficial site not affiliated with Halifax Fire or any other agency responsible for informing the public.

Amazing

With the shift in wind today and situation still out of control, a good idea to have an evacuation kit and plan wherever you live in Halifax this afternoon.

URGENT: new evacuation orders for Bedford. Be advised of the following emergency alert.

Tuesday, May 30, 8:45 p.m. | Residents are strongly encouraged to avoid unnecessary travel due to ongoing fires in the region. More details and updates: fal.cn/3yFSF

🧵The municipality has issued a pre-evacuation notice to residents on Viscount Run, starting at the intersection of Spyglass Run up to and including Cloverleaf and Summerwood lanes.

Due to the lifting of the Evacuation Order for the Farmers Dairy Lane area, the municipality has updated the map of the fire evacuation areas and the local state of emergency area. As a result, the Comfort Centre at LeBrun Recreation Centre has now closed.

If I’m not tweeting and/or you want to consult other sources, a few that I follow specifically for fire news are Sean at Waterfront Media, Tim at the Halifax Examiner, and Dahl Dispatch for calls outside HRM. Many others doing great work but I trust these three immensely.
