Okanagan rancher Devyn McMillan thought she was ready for a wildfire.

She had a plan to leave her home if there was a fire. But the plan did not work when the Bradley Creek wildfire came to her property on Friday night.

McMillan was not at home. She was working in the Yukon. When the wind changed, her family had only five minutes to leave. Her six-year-old daughter did not have time to put on her shoes.

The fire was very close to them. It came from the bottom of the hill and from the top of the mountain.

The fire was too strong to fight. It destroyed everything in its path.

McMillan told her family what to do with their animals from far away. They had 13 horses.

Friends tried to help evacuate the horses with trailers. But they could not because of the fire risk. So, they had to let the horses go.

It is hard to let animals go and hope they are safe. But they had to do it.

There are more stories about the B.C. Interior.

Okanagan Indian Band Chief Dan Wilson said at least 200 homes were lost in the fire.

He saw the damage earlier in the week.

The area looked like a war zone. It was very sad to see.

Some people left their homes by boat because they could not get to their driveways.

McMillan saw her house in a video. She knew it was hers right away.

Her house looked like it had exploded.

A shop, a trailer, and a logging truck were also destroyed.

All 13 of her horses survived the fire.

The horses are very smart. They went to a safe place and stayed there.

One of her horses went to her grandmother's house. It was not damaged by the fire.

The horse had never been to her grandmother's house before. It is surprising that it knew where to go.

People thought a pig named Jellybean was lost. Its pen was badly damaged.

At first, people thought Jellybean did not survive. But it did.

Jellybean was hurt and dehydrated. Now it is safe with friends.

Even though they lost everything, McMillan is grateful that everyone and the animals are safe.
