Evacuation orders have expanded in Nova Scotia’s Annapolis Valley, as firefighters try to contain a late-season wildfire that’s already forced the evacuation of more than 200 homes and buildings.

The fire — near Lake George in Kings County — has been fuelled by dry and windy conditions, and remains out-of-control as of Wednesday morning.

A Wednesday morning alert from the province ordered the mandatory evacuation of Aylesford Road from (and including) Fox Mountain Campground to 3847 Aylesford Rd., all residences on Spruce Drive, Birch Lane, and Blue Lane, as well as all residences between 5 North River Rd. and 1493 North River Rd.

The order is in addition to areas previously evacuated.

Residents are asked to to take pets, important documents, medications, food and emergency supplies.
