David Wear looks over the remains of a house destroyed by the White Rock Lake wildfire in Monte Lake, east of Kamloops, B.C., Saturday, Aug. 14, 2021. Wear recently sold the property and hadn't been living in it since moving to Merritt, B.C., with his wife in 2018, he said the people who bought the house all were able to escape to safety.
