It’s going to be hot and sticky for the next couple days.

Environment Canada has issued a heat warning for all three Maritime provinces for Monday and Tuesday.

Temperatures are expected in the 30 C range, with humidex values reaching 37. Cooler conditions can be expected along parts of the coast.

The warning does not include parts of northwest New Brunswick.

Heat warnings are issued when very high temperature or humidity conditions are expected to pose an elevated risk of heat illnesses, such as heat stroke or heat exhaustion.

It’s the second heat warning issued for the region in the last three weeks.

Environment Canada is advising people to schedule outdoor activities during the coolest parts of the day and never leave people, particularly children, or pets inside a parked vehicle.

Firefighters from several departments have converged to battle a fire at Covered Bridge Potato Chips factory in Hartland, a major employer in the New Brunswick town.

The call came in at 6 p.m., said RCMP Cpl. Dan Sharpe. He said 20 to 30 employees were safely evacuated.

By 9 p.m., the fire was still going but the building looked like a total loss, said Summerville resident Kelly Gillin, who lives nearby and watched the fire from across the highway.

“It’s devastating, there’s nothing left,” she said in an interview with CBC News.

“They’re still hauling water to it now, I don’t know how many trucks, I counted seven that were just zooming by back and forth to help put it out.”

Advent Day Nine

It’s technically illegal to eat mince pies on Christmas Day in England. In the 17th century, Oliver Cromwell banned Christmas pudding, mince pies and anything to do with gluttony. The law has never been rescinded.
