The Lost Creek Fire started because of human error and destroyed over 21,000 hectares of forest along with countless wildlife. I lived in the Crowsnest Pass (town of Blairmore) from 2001 to 2004. Darian had just turned 1 and Kev was in the middle of turning 6 when this fire broke out and we were evacuated.
