International Desk: A state of emergency has been declared in the eastern Canadian city of Halifax late Sunday night due to a fire. Many citizens have already been evacuated from there. The power supply has been stopped.
Municipal authorities in Nova Scotia’s capital city said in a statement that emergency services personnel are working 24 hours a day to keep people safe and reduce the threat posed by the wildfires. Heavy smoke has already spread over the port city. As a result, this state of emergency will remain in effect for the next seven days.
The tweet also informed us that there is a power outage where the fire has spread. Telecommunications companies, including Rogers and Bell Canada’s Bell Alliant, said in Twitter posts that some customers in communities evacuated by the fire may be without service.
A state of emergency was also declared in the western Canadian state of Alberta this month due to wildfires. Many people there are forced to leave their homes.
