Middle Sackville apartment fire among six recent smoking-related blazes
A Middle Sackville apartment building was destroyed in a fire traced to improperly discarded smoking materials on an exterior balcony—one of six similar incidents in the region over three months. Halifax Regional Fire and Emergency warns that exterior smoking-related fires are increasing in multi-unit buildings and often spread rapidly through attics and upper floors. Officials urge landlords and tenants to reinforce safe disposal practices and reduce combustible materials on balconies to limit risk.
