District chief Kevin Dean says Halifax Regional Fire and Emergency crews were called to Camp Nedooae in Middle Musquodoboit last night around 9:30 p.m. to respond to the fire.

Two buildings on the campgrounds were completely destroyed after being engulfed by flames and another sustained “significant” damage.
A total of 14 trucks were called to the scene, including eight tankers filled with water used to douse the fires.
Dean says crews remained at the camp until 4 a.m. this morning and turned the case over to the RCMP after its cause was deemed suspicious.
