Sharon Mallard is picking up the pieces at her property on Soda Creek Road where the White Lake fire destroyed many outbuildings on her property but didn’t take her home.
Mallard shared her story Thursday during a media tour oganized by the Cariboo Regional District and said she is grateful that firefighters saved her home and looks forward to seeing her horses brought back from Prince George soon.
During the tour, fire information officers Kylan McKeen, Rachel Witt and Lindsay Marks covered several topics ranging from how to fire smart properties, things to watch for in the coming months with danger trees and banks.
