'It was a violent event': 13 members of Wilson's Landing Fire Department lose homes to wildfire - West Kelowna News

'It was a violent event': 13 members of Wilson's Landing Fire Department lose homes to wildfire - West Kelowna News: Thirteen members of the Wilson’s Landing fire department, including its chief, lost their homes in the McDougall Creek wildfire.

The media coverage on the North Shuswap people staying behind has been extensive. I do sympathize, but those who are not formally trained and equipped may not understand how much more extreme fire behaviour has been. The video in the above article is an interview with a Fire Chief who lost his home, and had to pull back under extreme conditions.
