Toni Harris and her family had to leave their home quickly when the Bradley Creek fire came near their reserve. They didn't have much time to get out.

Toni Harris said many people did not get warnings about the fire.

Toni got home and then her uncle told her to leave right away. They asked how much time they had, and he said they had to go now.

About 30 Okanagan Indian Band members and 200 other people lost their homes in the fire.

People in B.C.'s Okanagan are running away from the fire.

People who had to leave their homes had problems getting money and finding hotel rooms. Many are still struggling.

Toni said they were told to apply online, but the website crashed because many people were trying to use it.

Many people were scared because they thought it would take a long time to get verified.

The Ministry of Emergency Management said they know about the delays and are working to fix them.

The problem has been fixed, and everyone who was waiting for money got it by the end of the day on Monday.

If there are more technical problems, the ministry has other ways to help people.

The Bradley Creek Fire started on August 1 and is very big.

The chief of the Okanagan Indian Band said some members had nowhere to go when they first had to leave.

Some people had to sleep in their cars because they had to leave so quickly.

The province has been criticized for not calling a state of emergency.

If the province called a state of emergency, it could help people find hotel rooms.

Toni had to move from one hotel to another, but she will have to leave the second hotel soon.

About 200 people will have to leave the hotel on Saturday.

The province has not called a state of emergency, so it's hard for them to help.

Declaring a local state of emergency could change how B.C. responds to wildfires.

A hotel where some evacuees are staying is booked for a conference this weekend.

The company that booked the conference did not respond to a request for comment.

Wildfires are making more people leave their homes in B.C.'s Okanagan.

About 7,000 properties are under evacuation order, and 3,500 are under alert.

Toni said many people are having trouble paying for hotel rooms.

One hotel requires a $300 cash deposit and a $150 credit deposit.

Many people were in a panic because they don't have credit cards or lost everything.

Toni and her roommate didn't have enough money for the deposit.

The National Chief of the Assembly of First Nations said they are praying for the people affected by the wildfires.

First Nations are heavily affected by the climate crisis.

The National Chief said Canada needs to invest in emergency management and community infrastructure.

Here's what you need to know about the B.C. wildfires.

The chief of the Okanagan Indian Band said his community will take a long time to heal.

The government needs data to provide funding to help the community rebuild.

The chief said it's sad to see what people lost in the fire, including important family items.

There are no words to describe how sad it is.
