HALIFAX. (CP) -Government pilots said Tuesday night the situation "looks quite favorable” over the fire-scarred spruce and fir woodlands of south-central Nova Scotia where Rangers sift- ed reports of arson.

Lands and forests department planes winged across several hundred square miles of Halifax, Guysboroush. I-lanis. Lunenbur. and Queens counties while thous- ands of volunteers trudged to their homes for the first hot meals and baths since the fires erupted late Saturday. But hun- dreds more remained at threat- ening points.

Several reports circulated in Queens and Lunenburg counties that an arsonist may have been behind one or two of the fires that at one point menaced the snullt shore towns of Liverpool and Brldgewater.

The investigation was being conducted by forests department officials and the RCMP.

Most of the improvement in the overall picture was attribut- ed to the light rain that fell Monday night.

At the height of the battle late Sunday and early Monday 3,000 men were pitted against fires at Liverpool and Bridgewster alone but there were no reports of ser- ious injury. '
