EASTERN PASSAGE, N.S. — A major fire has caused extensive damage at a waterfront fish processing plant on Nova Scotia’s eastern shore.
Brad Connors, a division commander with the Halifax regional fire department, said a call came in at about 9:20 p.m. Wednesday that the Capital Seafood plant in Fisherman’s Cove in Eastern Passage was on fire.
He said firefighters initially had to stay outside the large structure and douse it with water because of the size of the fire, which quickly spread to the attic and breached the roof. He estimated the building was about 15 metres by 38 metres and contained equipment the international seafood retailer and exporter uses for processing fish.
