The man charged after an investigation into the largest wildfire in Nova Scotia history has been fined $25,000. Dalton Stewart, 23, chose not to speak when he was handed the sentence Thursday in Barrington provincial court. The sentence — a joint recommendation from the Crown and defence — also includes an order to complete educational training on wildfire prevention. Stewart previously pleaded guilty to one charge under the Forest Act. Two other charges were dismissed or withdrawn. An agreed statement of facts entered into the court record Thursday provides details of what happened. The document shows Stewart admitted to lighting a tire on fire on private land near Barrington Lake while drinking with friends late at night on May 25, 2023. Before leaving the area, Stewart attempted to stomp out the fire. He admitted to being very intoxicated. …Senior Crown attorney Brian Cox told court the costs to extinguish the fire were in the region of $8 million.
