We live at the south end of Fernwood Drive. Our home was about as close as it gets to the Merry Creek fire, but incredibly, it survived. This was not a result of good luck, but the result of amazing efforts by the BC Wildfire Service, and many paid and volunteer firefighters from several local detachments.
We cannot imagine the effort that went into this coordinated attack, but we thank you all. We are grateful beyond what words can express for what you did for us, our neighborhood, and the community on the Canada Day weekend. You saved our home, and my honeybees!”
