Wildberry Lane fire reported before 3 p.m. on Monday
Halifax Regional Fire and Emergency is investigating after a structure fire on Wildberry Lane in Hammonds Plains, N.S.
Crews were called to the scene off Pockwock Road on Monday afternoon.
The regional fire service told CBC News two cars in front of a three-car garage were on fire and that the fire had spread to a wooded area behind it. The main home on the property did sustain some heat damage, but it was not significant.
No one was injured in the fire, Halifax Regional Fire and Emergency said.
The fire is now out and the cause is not yet known.
A Facebook page operated by the union representing Halifax firefighters said in a post that firefighters were dispatched at 2:41 p.m.
"While en route, a working structure fire was confirmed, and the call has since escalated to a second alarm to bring in additional resources.
"Our members are currently on scene facing heavy fire conditions. Please avoid the area to allow crews to work safely."
In an X post, RCMP said they were assisting fire services with traffic control, and that Pockwock Road was closed at the intersection of White Hills Run.
At 6:03 p.m., Nova Scotia RCMP posted that the roadway had been reopened.
