Frightening

A message from our MLA Tom Taggart (Sept 24, 2025):
And Onslow Belmont Fire

It is without a doubt that we need to take this drought seriously!
An incident occurred yesterday where a mowing machine struck a rock and started a fire on a 100-series highway backslope in Colchester County.
Due to the drought conditions, this fire spread rather quickly, but we were lucky enough that there was a fire suppression plan in place and they were able to contain the fire which helped significantly as fire crews were on route.
In light of yesterday's event, the decision to temporarily suspend all roadside mowing and brush cutting operations across the province was made until further notice.
Grading will continue, but must have the detailed hazard assessment completed and a fire mitigation plan in place.
I would like to thank the quick actions of Public Works and the Onslow Belmont Fire Brigade for containing and getting the fire out quickly before the fire could spread.
An update will be provided when conditions change for the better.
