‘Ash was raining all over my house’: Keremeos Creek wildfire threatens new off-grid home
Keremeos wildfire: Residents staying put despite being ordered“Fortunately a friend of mine encouraged me to pack my car just in case. So I put as much as I could in my car. And I certainly would’ve taken more but I was so hopeful everything would be fine,” Murzsa says he had to leave behind his cat, a 40-year-old vinyl collection and a 110-year-old piano.“It can be hard to let go of the memories of all my stuff but in the end, it is just cardboard.
“To be alone would be heartbreaking, so it’s very nice having people come by and tell me how sorry they feel for me, and ask what they can do to help. It’s been amazing,” Murzsa said. He is currently staying in Keremeos with a few of his neighbours who also evacuated. He’s unsure what will be left when he’s finally able to return home.
