Nova Scotia wildfires: Barrington Lake fire ‘rolling like a freight train,’ official says

Dave Rockwood, public information officer for the Department of Natural Resources and Renewables, said Wednesday that the Barrington Lake fire was “rolling like a freight train” and that 200 to 300 foot flames have been recorded on the head fire. He said officials have spent multiple days “constantly trying to chase this fire and steering our people out of the way and getting the public out of the way.”
