A big plume of smoke, already much larger than when we first arrived, visible over some commercial buildings

A gigantic plume of smoke behind some trees lining the road. It's darkening the sky and you can see the colour of the flames reflected in it.

First photo was when we left. Second (taken by @geisslertube.bsky.social because I was driving) is from when we were about 3/4 through traffic. #hfxfire

Halifax-area crews battling forest fire | CBC News Large plumes of smoke could be seen around Halifax on Tuesday afternoon from a fire near Bayers Lake Business Park, about 10 kilometres west of downtown.

Evacuating from this took like an hour and a half during which the fire got noticeably worse. #hfxfire

Smoke billowing from a wildfire in the distance. It is looming over the parking lot of a shopping mall.

More smoke from the same fire over the Sobeys in Clayton Park.

Things look ominous near Lacewood and Dunbrack. #hfxfire
