Thank you to All Who Supported the Response to the Industrial Fire

A huge thank you to everyone who supported yesterday’s industrial structure fire response!! 🎉

From just after midnight on April 30 through the afternoon, crews worked tirelessly in challenging conditions to bring a very large fire under control. This was a long and complex response, and the dedication shown across all agencies was nothing short of incredible.

We want to recognize the leadership of Liverpool Fire Department, along with the support of Greenfield and District Volunteer Fire Department, Port Medway Fire Department, Mill Village and District Fire Department, and North Queens Fire Association, and approximately 13 fire departments from across Lunenburg, Shelburne, and Annapolis Counties who came together to assist. This kind of mutual aid is what keeps our communities strong and protected.

We also extend our sincere thanks to the many partners who played a critical role throughout the day:
• Valley Communications
• RCMP
• Emergency Health Services (EHS)
• Nova Scotia Power
• Irving
• C. Eugene Ingram Construction (excavator float support)
• South Shore Centre for Education
• Scotia Business Dispatch Centre
• Office of the Fire Marshal (OFM)
• Nova Scotia Department of Emergency Management (DEM)
• Commissionaires
• Municipal staff and supporting teams

We also want to thank residents for their patience and understanding during this extended response. We recognize there were impacts throughout the day, and we appreciate your cooperation as crews worked to manage a rapidly evolving situation.

The response to yesterday’s fire was a strong reminder of the dedication of our emergency responders and the strength of regional partnerships. We are grateful for everyone who played a role in keeping our community safe.
