Fire staff tackled Blaze who spread from home to garage and two barns

Multiple Structures Set Ablaze in Fathom Harbor

On Thursday afternoon, Halifax fire crews were called to a chaotic scene in three Fathom Harbor, where several structures were engulfed in flames.

The initial report led civil servants and crews from ChezzetCook (station 23) to discover four buildings on fire: a house, a garage, and two barns. The fire quickly spread to a nearby forest, threatening a fifth structure.

Additional support from Cole Harbor (Station 17) and Musquodoboit Harbor (Station 24) arrived swiftly to assist in containing the blaze.

“This was a challenging incident with multiple exposures, each presenting a high level of risk,” stated the Halifax Professional Fire Fighters in a social media update.

Firefighting teams strategically attacked the flames at the house first, successfully extinguishing the fire and preventing its spread to the forest. They then moved on to tackle the remaining structures amidst challenging circumstances.
