After nearly a decade, one of the most followed on social media in Halifax, is stepping away.

Halifax Fire News says in a post on X, although it has been a tremendously positive experience, they are tired and are taking a break from the keyboard.

Fire News says at this time they are unsure if the hiatus is permanent or temporary.

They add they are “really, really, really looking forward to going hours or weeks or days or months without addressing, ‘what’s going on near so and so’, or the latest problem.

They note there is nothing wrong personally but have simply decided to think about the future.

Halifax Fire News reported on fire and emergency news in Halifax since 2015 and has nearly 70,000 followers.
