But Neufeld remembers what it was.
“This place was so beautiful,” he told CTV News.
Neufeld was at his property this week, trying to salvage cement patio blocks from near where his home once stood before a fire roared through Lytton last June, destroying most of the village.
“It isn’t easy. My wife and I, we go through periods of, we cry. It’s very sad,” he said.
He can’t forget the day he witnessed the fire burn his community.
“It was just a rolling black, ugly, chunks of fireball with the wind just shooting straight down with fire sparks everywhere,” he recalled.
