A wildfire in Nova Scotia’s Shelburne County is still out of control, according to the provincial Department of Natural Recourses and Renewables (DNRR).
DNRR provided its latest update on Twitter Monday afternoon, saying the fire in Little Harbour, N.S., is 25 per cent contained.
The wildfire was originally estimated to be 10 hectares in size.
The province now says it is 56.5 hectares, though the wildfire has not grown.
"The original size estimate was done with a lot of smoke in the area, which made it difficult to measure accurately," said DNRR's latest tweet.
There have been no reports of structure damage.
The fire first broke out Sunday afternoon, with DNRR staff, helicopters, and volunteer firefighters from Lockeport, Little Harbour, Shelburne and Sable River responding.
