https://t.co/KPiEcw6AXf pic.twitter.com/Nj9yrCVoMd— hfxgov (@hfxgov) May 31, 2023The blaze broke out Sunday afternoon in the Tantallon area, about a 30-minute drive from downtown Halifax.More than 200 structures — 150 of which are homes — have been destroyed.Mandatory evacuation orders are in place in a number of neighbourhoods, impacting more than 16,400 residents.

An evacuation order was issued for some areas in Bedford Tuesday night due to another fire and potential ammonia leak, but was later rescinded.That fire is still ongoing but was “quiet” Wednesday morning, fire officials say.Dave Meldrum, deputy chief with Halifax Regional Fire and Emergency, said the devastation left by the wildfire is a “site of tragedy.”“There’s widespread destruction, and at the same time, there’s a level of randomness that comes with wildfires when they hit the urban interface where people live,” he said.“So there are properties that are unharmed in close proximity to properties that are destroyed.“It’s terrible to see.

These are people’s homes. This is a community, and it’s really confusing to myself, as a layperson and a resident of the regional municipality, to see how this community was impacted by this fire.”He said there were eight fire engines, 14 tankers, two Department of National Defence brush trucks, and around 100 firefighters at the scene Wednesday.There are also two units and six firefighters from Charlottetown, and crews from DNRR Emergency Health Services, RCMP and Ground Search and Rescue.Meldrum said crews are continuing to work on hot spots and flare-ups.

'Anti-drifting' bill introduced days after illegal car meet-ups turned deadly

PHILADELPHIA - Philadelphia City Council is now taking up the issue of illegal street racing days after illegal car meet-ups across the city culminated in a deadly officer-involved shooting.6th District Councilmember Mike Driscoll introduced an "anti-drifting" bill on Thursday that would define "drifting," as well as "doughnuts" and "spin-outs," in the city’s reckless driving code. The bill would allow penalties of $2,000 for participants, and the ability for police to seize any vehicle that is being used to "drift" on city property.Driscoll says the bill was in the works, but after seeing videos and aftermath of the illegal meet-up at Cottman and Torresdale Avenue in his district last weekend, he wanted to get it out this week.It was co-signed by Councilmember Mark Squilla and Councilmember Katherine Gilmore Richardson, and will now head to committee."We have to send a strong message that we’re not going to tolerate this, and I tell you what, once we start seizing this vehicles, I think we’re going to get their attention," Driscoll said.The introduction of the bill comes on the same day 18-year-old Anthony Allegrini Jr. was laid to rest.

Vehicle thefts are up in Philly and criminals are picking on 2 specific car brands: police

PHILADELPHIA - Vehicle thefts in Philadelphia have nearly doubled from this point last year and criminals are targeting two specific car brands, according to the latest data from police. The Philadelphia Police Department said there have been more than 9,000 vehicle thefts so far this year and half of those have involved Kias and Hyundais. "Obviously this is a major concern for us, the stolen cars out there lead to a lot of things, some are just joyriding others are used in crimes," Chief Walter Smith said.To prevent the growing trend, 21 districts from around Philadelphia came together Wednesday to hand out vehicle locks to Kia and Hyundai owners. MORE LOCAL HEADLINESPolice also reached out to victims of vehicle thefts to let them know about the giveaway. The device - commonly called ‘The Club’ - goes onto the steering wheel and is locked with a key. Authorities say the lock makes the car impossible for criminals to drive, and they hope it's visual presence is enough to prevent car thefts from happening."We found that people are multiple-time victims of this unfortunately," Captain Marques Newsome from the Philadelphia Police Department's 15th District said. Data from the department obtained by FOX 29's Kelly Rule shows that there have been over 5,600 Kias and Hyundais stolen in Philadelphia this year, up from just 337 at this time in 2022.In an effort to combat car thefts, Philadelphia police are giving away wheel lock to residents with Hyundais and Kias.In a month-by-month breakdown, May saw the highest number of cars stolen so far this year.
