The record-breaking wildfire in southwestern Nova Scotia that started 11 days ago near Barrington Lake is no longer moving, emergency officials said Wednesday.

The province’s Natural Resources Department issued a statement saying the fire, which grew to be the province’s largest on record, was “being held” and was not expected to move if cool and wet conditions persist.
