BC wildfires: HGTV star Todd Talbot recounts harrowing escape as West Kelowna home goes up in flames

HGTV’s ‘Love It or List It: Vancouver’ star Todd Talbot knows the devastation from British Columbia's wildfires first-hand after watching his family’s dream home in West Kelowna go up in flames on Friday.

“We’re safe and staying with family in Calgary at the moment,” Talbot tells The Morning Show. “The thing that resonates the most with me is the outpouring of support and people sending messages,” he adds.

“I could see at the beginning of the day, the smoke was intensifying behind our house and we were looking at (an) app (showing) where the fire was located. The smoke in the air was intense and that was what motivated me to suggest to Rebecca to take the kids somewhere else,” Talbot recounts.
