Imagine a knock on your door from someone telling you to gather your stuff and go because a wildfire is headed your way. It’s a scenario that played out for hundreds of homeowners in the Halifax area in the last twenty four hours.

Sam Brannen posted a video to her social media page recently as she was capturing what could have been the last images of her Clyde River home as they evacuated. It’s still standing, and she has some advice for all of us who think “it will never happen to me”.
