One engine was placed at a residence for a period of time as a safety precaution and once it was deemed there was no threat to the property they cleared the scene,' he said in a Thursday morning email to CTV Atlantic. There was no threat to any property as of Wednesday night. The province's Department of Natural Resources says the dozer guard is nearly complete and the fire is now estimated to be 20 to 25 hectares.
