One in a ten-part series showcasing the volunteerism, community and resilience surrounding those evacuated due to the wildfires engulfing parts of the B.C. Interior.

Kristin Reynolds arrived in Prince George in the early hours Sunday morning, with her two dogs Tweeks and Fraser, as many items from around her house she could grab and one pair of flip flops.

But don香蕉视频直播檛 expect her to complain about it.

香蕉视频直播淚 think I香蕉视频直播檝e got it pretty good, like a lot better than a lot of other people,香蕉视频直播� she said outside the Emergency Operations Centre at the College of New Caledonia.

Admittedly still riding the wave of adrenaline that activates when one is thrown into chaos and nights of unrest, Reynolds is making a home away from home in a donated tent with enough room for her two loyal companions and the few mementos she could grab in the dark.

Spent last 24 hrs talking to countless evacuees in 1 said happy/sad comes in & out as she "grieves having no control"

Reynolds received the 香蕉视频直播渢ime to leave香蕉视频直播� knock on the door of her and her husband香蕉视频直播檚 香蕉视频直播渞etirement home香蕉视频直播� in Horsefly at about 9:30 p.m.

See, living off the grid means that when it香蕉视频直播檚 dark outside, it香蕉视频直播檚 dark inside, Reynolds explained. You can walk into a room, pass a pile of important items and just completely forget about it, but grab useless junk 香蕉视频直播� which may have had something to do with why she has a few empty canvases and markers in her trunk.

香蕉视频直播淲e gathered up our stuff in a matter of about 15 minutes and we were out of there香蕉视频直播�. we just fled, stopped in Quesnel, got some gas and came here.香蕉视频直播�

The first night 香蕉视频直播� refusing to let her dogs out of her sight 香蕉视频直播� she slept in the passenger seat of her four-door car parked in one of the campus parking lots while her dogs got fresh air outside on two long leashes.

By the second night, she was sleeping inside a donated tent, matched with a donated mattress and a Canadian Red Cross fleece blanket.

香蕉视频直播淚 was paralyzed when I got here until I got the tent,香蕉视频直播� she said. 香蕉视频直播淥nce I got the tent it was perfect. I could unload the car a bit 香蕉视频直播� you know 香蕉视频直播� just get some space around so I could sort the randomness.香蕉视频直播�

She香蕉视频直播檚 made her space dog-proof, with a little fence to keep Fraser and Tweeks from exploring the town she hopes she doesn香蕉视频直播檛 have to stay in for too long.

And although she香蕉视频直播檚 doing the best to make the four-person tent feel as much like a home as possible 香蕉视频直播� even getting acquainted with her neighbours 香蕉视频直播� being without her husband, who stayed in Williams Lake working, in a tent setup on a mix of gravel and concrete was not where she thought she香蕉视频直播檇 be this week.

香蕉视频直播淚 don香蕉视频直播檛 want to get comfortable because I香蕉视频直播檓 in a tent and I didn香蕉视频直播檛 plan to be camping, so it香蕉视频直播檚 not like camping at all, it香蕉视频直播檚 really not.香蕉视频直播�

Among random mementos, too much clothes and a bunch of things that are absolutely useless inside her tent, it香蕉视频直播檚 a little radio that香蕉视频直播檚 keeping her sane.

香蕉视频直播淚 brought my radio fortunately and that香蕉视频直播檚 kinda been my salvation, is just being able to turn the radio on and go to sleep at night was like amazing last night.香蕉视频直播�

While the radio got her through the nights, it香蕉视频直播檚 the people of Prince George that get her through the day.

香蕉视频直播淒riving in the parking lot they were handing out hamburgers last night from a barbecue that they had for the evacuees and stuff,香蕉视频直播� she said. 香蕉视频直播淧eople are giving out shoes and slippers and blankets. It looks like stuff they香蕉视频直播檝e just gathered up out of the neighbourhood香蕉视频直播�

香蕉视频直播淧eople are doing things that you don香蕉视频直播檛 normally see like young people volunteering is really huge 香蕉视频直播� there香蕉视频直播檚 more young people volunteering in there than I香蕉视频直播檝e ever seen.香蕉视频直播�

The kindness takes her mind off what she left behind: a house purchased with their life savings and no insurance, her pig named Dotty and her cows.

香蕉视频直播淚香蕉视频直播檓 probably most worried about the animals that I香蕉视频直播檝e had to leave behind and the water situation,香蕉视频直播� she said. 香蕉视频直播淚 know it香蕉视频直播檚 really hot in the Horsefly area and really windy and there香蕉视频直播檚 not a whole lot of water out there.香蕉视频直播�

There香蕉视频直播檚 also the looming unknown of when and if she香蕉视频直播檒l get to go home. Questions no one can give any sort of answers to 香蕉视频直播� no fault of their own, she said.

香蕉视频直播淚 don香蕉视频直播檛 know what香蕉视频直播檚 going to happen. I hope everything is fine and safe and that the evacuation was maybe just an exit issue.香蕉视频直播�

Having neighbours who have been living in the parking lot for more than 10 days, Reynolds is remaining positive.

香蕉视频直播溝憬妒悠抵辈ウ. I don香蕉视频直播檛 want to be devastated because I don香蕉视频直播檛 know what香蕉视频直播檚 happening right? It could be good. It could be totally fine.香蕉视频直播�
