TRANSCRIPT: In Bridgetown today, the sky was heavy. 0:02 Smoke and fog lingered in the air. 0:05 Later, a dark cloud rolled in, sparking 0:07 hope for rain. But only a few drops fell 0:10 before the haze returned. For families 0:12 here, the pictures arriving on their 0:14 phones are far more ominous. 0:16 So many emotions in a person when they 0:19 lose everything. 0:20 Michael Pastor lost his home and shop. 0:23 Once filled with his artwork and decades 0:25 worth of collectibles, now reduced to 0:28 ashes. heartbroken, mind raging. 0:31 Um, 0:33 it's 0:35 I'm lost for words when it comes to how 0:38 I feel. 0:38 He says he tried to get insurance, but 0:40 because he heated with a wood stove, he 0:43 couldn't. 0:45 For Jamie Bordon, the loss came as a 0:47 shock. 0:48 That was after dinner. We opened up the 0:49 pictures and we were expecting to see as 0:53 they said like damage little some damage 0:56 to one building and it actually turned 0:58 out to be like a total loss of three 1:00 buildings. 1:01 One was his family's home. Another their 1:03 workshop filled with tools and supplies. 1:06 Oh, your heart sinks. You instant sense 1:09 of loss and then like real reality kind 1:11 of sets in. 1:12 Yesterday CTV News spoke with James 1:14 Milner. Today he shared pictures of 1:16 what's left of his property. He told CTV 1:19 he wasn't surprised, just heartbroken. 1:23 For Dion and Cindy Scoffield, there's 1:26 still a home standing, but it carries 1:28 expensive damages. 1:29 It was an older house with just like 1:31 wood shingles, and they cover it with 1:34 vinyl, and the vinyl's all melted off. 1:35 Like many of their neighbors, the 1:37 Scoffields don't have insurance. And for 1:39 those around them, it's even worse. 1:41 Entire homes flattened by the flames 1:44 with no coverage to rebuild. 1:46 We have a place and they don't. And 1:48 that's part of it. 1:49 The closest feel the closest feeling to 1:51 it is uh losing a losing someone like 1:55 the death of someone. 1:56 Todd, the losses stretch beyond property 1:59 lines. School starts next week, which 2:01 means children will face new bus routes, 2:03 new classrooms, and a life without the 2:06 neighborhoods they once knew. Todd, 2:09 that's Havsa Aarf in Annapolis County 2:11 for us this evening.
