BC firefighters help comfort, feed animals left behind after devastating Lytton wildfire

The Thorpe family was one of many who were forced to flee their homes when a devastating wildfire swept through the village of Lytton, B.C., on June 30.

They lost their dream retirement home in the wildfire.

But even more devastating, they thought they had lost all their animals in the blaze as well.

Tricia Thorpe and her husband, who drives a school bus, were asked to help get as many residents out as possible as the fire bore down on their village, but when they tried to go back to get their hobby farm, they were told it was too dangerous to enter.

They had to evacuate to Lillooet and then again to Kelowna, where Thorpe decided to post about her animals on the Lyttonites Facebook page.

That's where they received a message that filled their hearts with joy.
