Thirteen members of the Wilson’s Landing fire department, including its chief, lost their homes in the McDougall Creek wildfire.“Two years ago as we worked the White Rock Lake fire, we thought at the time that it was the biggest fire of our lives. It pales to what we just experienced,” he said.
“It was a violent event, the world shattered, the wind was 30 to 50 kilometres an hour with ember showers that were being driven from the mountain down into Traders Cove, and then at our firefighters,” Zydowicz said. Zydowicz said two firefighters were injured in the battle. One sustained burns to the face and another a broken wrist.
“I don't have a choice. I gotta keep going,” he said, crediting his wife for supporting him as they work with the insurance company and support groups.
