Hammonds Plains, Nova Scotia was surrounded by smoke and fire this week, and residents have had to evacuate their homes. The fires are still out of control, and people are waiting to see if they can go back home, or if they\u2019ll even have a home to go back to. Shelley Penton-Rideout is originally from Joe Batt\u2019s Arm, and she now lives in Hammonds Plains. She and her family had to get out in a hurry on Sunday, and they were still waiting today to see what will happen.
