Thirteen of the 24 members of the Wilson's Landing Fire Department lost their homes. Among the 13 who lost their homes was Wilson's Landing Fire Chief Paul Zydowicz. The chief was working to save property around Lake Okanagan Resort when the fire got into his own neighbourhood at Jenny Creek. "We couldn't get in there safely, it was a wall of fire a hundred feet high," he said. So he simply carried on. "We proceeded with saving what we could." Processing his own losses would have to come later. "We focus on what we can save, not what's gone." All 13 of the members remain on the job today. "Every single one," said the chief with pride. "It blows my mind." #BCWildfire #WilsonLanding Full story:
