Firefighters are on their third day of battling two major fires in Annapolis County, and the warm summer weather isn’t helping.

Jim Rudderham, the manager of forest protection operations for the Department of Natural Resources, says there have been three fires, with just one being contained.

"We have two fires in Annapolis County right now, one at the Maitland Bridge and one we're calling seven-mile lake fire,” he said. “Both are still out of control, but we have crews working very hard to try to contain them."

This fire at Maitland Bridge, just past the entrance of Kejimikujik National Park, is measured at over six hectares.

About a dozen kilometres north on Highway 8, a massive blaze measuring 90 hectares ignited near Seven Mile Lake.

Crews from seven fire departments in the area are fighting the flames, along with three DNR helicopters.

New Brunswick's entire fleet of six water bombers also flew in to help.

"The fires aren't near any residences right now, so no we have not advised any evacuations," said Rudderham

Iona Charlton lives on the stretch of highway eight that has been closed down because of fires. She has lived near Maitland Bridge for 54 years, and says the area has never seen anything like this.

"I've been really concerned. It's hard to sleep when there's a fire going. Very scary," she said. “We've been trying to help out the fire department. The ladies in the community have been baking and making sandwiches."

Officials are also reminding the public that due to dry conditions, brush burning and campfires are banned across most of Nova Scotia at this time.

“The weather is beautiful to go to the beach, but you can see it's very windy out here right now and with clear skies, no rain, and low humidity, high temperatures and wind is the absolute worst thing you can have for fighting a forest fire," said Rudderham.

A third wildfire in nearby Greenfield has now been fully contained, but Rudderham says it will take some help from Mother Nature to completely put out the Annapolis Valley fires.

"We really need to get some wet weather, a nice steady rain for about three days is what we need to put these fires out," he said.

There’s no word yet on how the fires started, but that will be investigated once they’re contained.
