## Resource

Wildfire rages northeast of Halifax in Nova Scotia, now covering 13 square kilometers after revised mapping excluded water bodies. A massive aerial response is underway, with water bombers and helicopters from Newfoundland and Labrador and Nova Scotia working to contain the blaze. The fire, which erupted Wednesday, forced a mandatory evacuation of 100–150 residents from Mooseland Road by Thursday. Officials plan to release an update later this afternoon as crews race to bring the situation under control. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
