Halifax , having been previously devastated by the Halifax Explosion , had emergency plans in place for such an incident , leading to an orderly and widespread evacuation of Halifax 's northern half . The damage resulting from this incident was far less than that of the Halifax Explosion ; however , the blasts shattered windows , crumpled roofs , and cracked structures . Very few injuries were reported , with none severe . Patrolman Henry Raymond Craig , a naval seaman on watch that night , was the lone casualty , having rushed to the pier upon noticing a fire , just prior to the initial barge explosion
