HALIFAX - Nova Scotia's largest wildfire destroyed 20 homes in the Annapolis Valley over the weekend as dry winds fanned the flames of the Long Lake fire that continues to burn out of control.聽

Minister of Emergency Management Kim Masland said 20 homes and at least 11 outbuildings, such as sheds or garages, were destroyed or seriously damaged Sunday.
