Reflecting on Canfield shootings, one year later
This day, on a Sunday it started out pretty normal. My boyfriend at the time and I went to church at One Place Church in Hayden. My ex-boyfriend, Evrett, is a log truck driver, but he also has his fire card so he can bring a water truck onto wildfires to help fight them. After church, we spent some time with our friends from church and then decided to head out to Lake Pend Oreille.
From there, I had a bad feeling once we saw the smoke coming from Canfield Mountain. We had been officially dating for less than 24 hours. I jumped onto Facebook while he drove us to the lake, and North Idaho News reported there was a fire. Evrett said to me, “I might get called onto that fire, so if it happens, can you drive my pickup to my apartment after you drop me off at the water truck at the shop?”
