Paul Zydowicz, Wilson's Landing fire chief, told a press conference Thursday that the devastating McDougall Creek blaze has been a"nightmare."But his wife has been forced to confront the ferocity of the fires too because the couple's own house is among those destroyed, reduced to a pile of rubble and twisted metal.
The firefighters' homes are among 181 destroyed or damaged in communities around Lake Okanagan since last week amid the worst wildfire season in the province's history. "They've been great with providing like underwear and socks and just basic things for these guys," she said. The families who lost their homes"had literally nothing," she added.
"My mom and dad are both staying with my other sister in Kelowna, but he's continued to work the fire line," she said."He's been working night shift every night, back out on the fire line since everything happened."
