B次元官网网址淲hen we were evacuated, the cops came to my house, andB次元官网网址� Sorry, this is so hard to talk about,B次元官网网址� says Cody Bandsma. B次元官网网址淐ops came to my house, and I grabbed everything I could. I grabbed picture frames, I grabbed albums. I really didnB次元官网网址檛 think it was going to go down, so I didnB次元官网网址檛 grab as much as I shouldB次元官网网址檝e,B次元官网网址� said Cody, whose house in 105 Mile House burned down.
B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 just all a crater. I donB次元官网网址檛 know really what to say, it just happened really fast,B次元官网网址� he says. Cody is currently staying in Kelowna and adds that they had an automotive mechanics shop by the house as well.
CodyB次元官网网址檚 dad Stan Bandsma was on holidays in the Shuswap at the time.
B次元官网网址淓very time I go to think of, IB次元官网网址檓 gonna go home and grab that thing B次元官网网址� itB次元官网网址檚 not there anymore. I was very well set up. I had 1st Stop Auto and it was all set up very nicely. I had every piece of equipment that I needed to do just about anything. I had everything really nice and neat, IB次元官网网址檓 very picky. ItB次元官网网址檚 very devastating for me.B次元官网网址�
B次元官网网址淐ody was at home, my son, and he said B次元官网网址榃hat do you want me to do?B次元官网网址� So we gave him a list and he went through and took personal things like pictures and albums and stuff like that. He got the Mustang out of there, my show car, a B次元官网网址�73 Mustang Fastback; he got that out of there and another car trailer and he got my Bobcat out of there.
B次元官网网址淗e was just working tirelessly until 10 oB次元官网网址檆lock that night. Just getting stuff out of there and he didnB次元官网网址檛 think of himself. He didnB次元官网网址檛 even take any of his own stuff, no clothes, nothing. No sentimental stuff of his own. He was amazing and heB次元官网网址檚 taking it very hard. ItB次元官网网址檚 really rough on him. He was pretty much a one-year-old when we got there and we built everything.
B次元官网网址淓verything on that property we had built or rebuilt. There was nothing on that property when we got there. He did an amazing job.B次元官网网址�
The family found out their place had burned down through a picture on Facebook.
B次元官网网址淪omeone drove through in the night actually, and showed us a film of him driving through the driveway and it looked like a war zone there. And then someone put a picture in the morning and put it on Facebook at the end of the driveway pointing in and the only thing standing was the 1st Stop Auto Sign,B次元官网网址� he says. B次元官网网址淭echnically, I shouldnB次元官网网址檛 even know my house is burned down.B次元官网网址�
According to Stan, their home is not the only one destroyed.
B次元官网网址淭here are other houses that are gone in that area too. I know that because IB次元官网网址檝e seen pictures, but I donB次元官网网址檛 want to say who they are.B次元官网网址�
Stan was overwhelmed with it all.
B次元官网网址淚B次元官网网址檝e lost my business, so I have no way to make an income. That was our total income that we had for our family. I have no way of making an income now and then everything else is gone too,B次元官网网址� he says. B次元官网网址淲eB次元官网网址檙e just gonna hang out in Kelowna I guess; find a hotel or whatever.B次元官网网址�
Cody says when they can, theyB次元官网网址檒l go back as a family.
B次元官网网址淲henever weB次元官网网址檙e weB次元官网网址檙e allowed in there, weB次元官网网址檙e gonna go as a family and weB次元官网网址檙e gonna try and see what we can recover.B次元官网网址�
