Families return to Talent to find homes completely destroyed

Families return to Talent to find homes completely destroyed.

Newswatch 12's brett taylor is here with me live.

Today you spoke with a family who is rebuilding?

That's right alicia óóóóóóóóóó this behind us is represents over 50 years, uh, of our, uh, personal possessions that are now absolutely james and judy fences have been living on and off in oregon for the last 30 years now.

And they decided to move to talent a few years ago to avoid wildfires.

Now their home has been destroyed by the all made of fire.

It looks like a bomb has hit.

In this little community and everything that was important to them is now gone.

All the mementos and families and pitchers and paperwork and knickknacks and pictures and let alone all the furniture and appliances.

And what have you, along with the 76 other homes in the area that were destroyed by the all made of fire, we all have 76 different stories to tell because 76 families.

Or affected by this fire drew closer, james and judy went above and beyond to notify the community about the incoming dangers.

And our first reaction was to go door to door in this community and get people out.

We actually loaded one individual into a car and transported her out, out of the areas to safety.

We felt obligated to help those get out of this.

Now they're just trying to process the damages.

The couple along with many other residents who have been affected by this buyer, have questions on what to do next.

Can i find a place to rent?

Can i find a place to buy, uh, uh, what do i do about the records that i've lost?

The, the, the veterans papers that i might've had, this is what's left.

What do you do?

Thank you brett.
