Crews battle wildfire in remote area of Cape Breton
Crews are battling a wildfire in a remote area of Cape Breton's Richmond County. The blaze started around 5 p.m. AT Thursday on Three Rivers Road in Framboise, about 66 kilometres southwest of Sydney, according to a news release from the Municipality of the County of Richmond. The fire is about 15 hectares in size and has crossed at least one roadway, the release says. No evacuation orders have been issued, but residents are being asked to remain vigilant. One old trailer, vacant for over 20 years, has been lost in the blaze. A residence has been soaked down as a precaution and another has a sprinkler system set up. 'They're making progress' Scott Tingley, manager of forest protection with the province's Natural Resources Department, said those two homes are the only ones in the vicinity of the fire, but there is no imminent threat to properties. He said there are 17 staff members from Natural Resources are on the scene, as well as rough 12 volunteer firefighters. "Crews were on site early so they're making progress," Tingley told CBC's Information Morning Nova Scotia. On Thursday evening, multiple volunteer fire departments fought the fire, but weren't able to contain it. Ground crews focused on extinguishing the blaze and saturating surrounding areas to reduce the risk of the wildfire spreading. Most of those crews left for the night, but were prepared to return if conditions worsened. Lois Landry, warden for the Municipality of the County of Richmond, said the area is quite rural and sparsely populated. She said cellphone service is not good, which is a concern when trying to communicate with emergency crews on the ground. "There's efforts afoot to try to improve that but it's times like this really where that lack of service is really significant," Landry said in an interview Friday morning. The province issued a fire ban for most of Nova Scotia on Thursday following several days of warm, sunny weather. There was a little reprieve from hot and dry conditions as rain fell overnight into Friday.

Wildfire smoke leads to air quality alerts across Canada
Manitoba RCMP officers assisted with the evacuation of several northern communities in Manitoba including the City of Flin Flon, Pimicikamak Cree Nation, and Mathias Colomb Cree Nation on May 28 and 29, 2025. (THE CANADIAN PRESS/HO - Manitoba RCMP) Wildfire smoke has led to air quality alerts in six provinces and territories. The Environment Canada air quality alerts cover a huge swath of central Canada, including much of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Parts of the Northwest Territories, western Ontario and Labrador are also affected. In Alberta, air quality alerts stretch from near Red Deer in the south to the boundary with Northwest Territories. The most severe air quality warnings are in effect in the northwestern part of the province, including areas in and around High Level. At least four northern Alberta communities have been evacuated so far. Conditions are expected to improve later Friday. 'Smoke is causing very poor air quality and reduced visibility,' Environment Canada warned. 'As smoke levels increase, health risks increase. Limit time outdoors. Consider reducing or rescheduling outdoor sports, activities and events.' Environment Canada also urges those in affected areas to keep windows and doors closed, use an air filter inside, and to wear a mask when outdoors. 'You may experience mild and common symptoms such as eye, nose and throat irritation, headaches or a mild cough,' Environment Canada said. 'More serious but less common symptoms include wheezing, chest pains or severe cough. If you think you are having a medical emergency, seek immediate medical assistance.' Environment Canada A graphic from Environment Canada shows weather advisories in effect as of 8 a.m. ET on Friday, May 30, 2025. Similar air quality alerts cover large parts of Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Northwest Territories and western Ontario. The most severe air quality warnings are in effect for Saskatchewan and Manitoba communities including La Ronge, Flin Flon and Pinawa. 'Warm and dry conditions continue to support wildfire activity as the weekend approaches,' Environment Canada cautioned. 'The smoke will linger for a prolonged period near the source region of the fires.' Saskatchewan has declared a state of emergency due to wildfires and has so far evacuated roughly 15 communities. Travel restrictions and evacuations are also taking place in Manitoba. Across the country in Labrador, wildfire smoke has also led to air quality alerts in Churchill Falls and the Churchill Valley. 'Smoke from wildfires burning just east of Churchill Falls may cause reduced air quality in the community and surrounding areas,' Environment Canada explained. 'Scattered showers are expected in the region today which could allow periods of improved air quality.'
