After putting the word out on social media, Marnie Endersby eventually connected with West Kelowna firefighter Sean Minchin, who was the lone firefighter in the now-iconic photo.
A West Kelowna woman got to meet one of her heroes after watching him and his firefighting crew save her home during the early days of the McDougall Creek wildfire.
“We just feel like he is our angel and our hero,” said Endersby, who stayed up until 4 a.m. to watch her home. The group went for dinner at Two Eagles golf course recently to break bread together and share stories. "If there's going to be any publicity I'd like the rest of the crew to get mentioned because they all were there, they didn't happen to get caught on camera the way I did."
