Hi everyone!

Somewhat sad, but somewhat good news.

The fire is now out.

Much inner-city forestation was lost however, as well as approximately 20 homes were totally destroyed and several others damaged. Thankfully, it did not cross over into the low-income area where my best friend lives, and they did not lose their apartment full of everything they have worked hard for

They are now home, thank god. What a releif.

Still very sad for the people who did lose everything, literally, as when they had to evacuate they had literally five minutes to grab some stuff and get out as it was honestly in their yards at that time.. so they lost pretty much everything.

I dont know if this is a blessing, because its still sad that much was lost, but the area of homes that were lost were high priced/mostly "rich" folks, in fact mostly summer homes. Perhaps this is best because those folk would have had insurance and money to rebuild and the like.. however it is still very sad.

On any hand.. there was still a mass devastation to that inner city forest, in an area that was also a historic property in halifax and had a park in it as well. It will be a long time before anyone can enjoy those places again, but everything comes around
