Judith Urquhart said she’s doing what she has to do to remain focused and prepare for the possibility that a wildfire could force her to evacuate, five years after her home was destroyed by a different blaze.

Urquhart and her husband rebuilt their home that was destroyed in the devastating 2021 fire in Lytton, B.C., that razed most of the community, and now they are one of more than 150 properties under evacuation alert as a new fire threatens.
