- HGTV’s ‘Love It or List It: Vancouver’ star Todd Talbot knows the devastation from British Columbia's wildfires first-hand after watching his family’s dream home in West Kelowna go up in flames on Friday.
“We’re safe and staying with family in Calgary at the moment,” Talbot tells The Morning Show. “The thing that resonates the most with me is the outpouring of support and people sending messages,” he adds.
“I could see at the beginning of the day, the smoke was intensifying behind our house and we were looking at (an) app (showing) where the fire was located. The smoke in the air was intense and that was what motivated me to suggest to Rebecca to take the kids somewhere else,” Talbot recounts.

Most people recognize Todd as the co-host from the popular TV show "Love it or List it Vancouver" which ran for many seasons and still shows reruns on the home channel which I still watch. Todd is just a very likable guy. A good choice to interview because he is well- spoken and comfortable in front of a camera.
Wow, he does seem like a very articulate and well controlled guy, in spite of what happened to him. Obviously, he's worked hard for his money.
Ok, Todd.
Thinking of you & your family Todd. Im happy that you all are safe. ❤❤❤
To be clear, the devastation in West Kelowna started Thursday evening. The fire exploded in less than 3 hours. By 9pm it was terrifying. So much loss but also so much love in the Okanagan.
So devastating. All who are effected by these fires are in my thoughts and prayers. 🙏🏼
So sad, all the best to Todd, love his show, hope he can rebuild, glad his family is safe
Yeah, so sad a guy w corporate backing will be "ok" geez
Oh my heart goes out to all that lost there homes. I’m still on alter at Shannon lake and had a front row view to the fire. It is so stressful. The fire fighters here are amazing.
Devastating for him, his family and to other families that lost their homes. It’s such a cruel life where with one stroke you could lose everything. For those who make light of this and laugh and say he’s wealthy and now he knows what it’s like to be homeless, you would feel differently if you lost your home.
I doubt anybody is saying that, let alone laughing. That just brings bad karma or something.
Why would someone say that!? It's an awful situation. Losing your home under any circumstances is tragic,no matter who you are!
Love Tod and family ❤ wishing you well going forward 🙏
I’m so sorry for Todd and his family, he always make me laugh, it’s sad to see him suffering. I hope the best possible outcome for them. Take care
This is so sad. Countless ppl in this position across Canada, trauma that will never forget. Loss upon loss.
Hey Todd. So sorry to hear about your beautiful home.
So sorry, Todd. Heartbreaking to have your place burn. I wish you and your family rest and wellness. m.
Omg i can not image 😢😢
Thank god everyone made it out safe stuff can be replaced people cant sending prayers from kitchener ont canada❤
Love it! Rebuild!
I’m listening to this right now, must add my thoughts here: my brother & sister-in-law live there. I was just there visiting in the beginning of July & had literally no clue that this would be happening to Beautiful Kelowna! It’s incredible for me to see the views there; but when I saw the wildfires happening as fast as they were I was FaceTimed by my sister-in-law that they were okay so far, she knew that I’d be scared of what I’d be seeing on TV news. She stated that she was getting things ready in a bag in case they got the call to leave, but she was losing sleep due to what the flames were doing every hour of the day & night. She had her son & daughter-in-law there for a 7 day visit that grew into a longer stay than they bargained for, they were stuck inside the house due to the heat & smoke etc. But she also said: she was really trying hard not to break down & cry 😢 due to the incredible stress taking place. I said: I’m kinda glad I wasn’t there, I’d be really scared about what might happen, she agreed with that. She stated that the wind is taking the fire away to Vernon & I said: yeah, but don’t want them to lose their houses & lives! I’m very empathetic towards some people esp, going through something like this! I informed sister-in-law that this was not by accident, there were people who were deliberately setting these fires just cause. Two women were taking a walk & happened to come upon a woman who was startled because she was trying to set a tree ablaze, a little while later a tree or bush was set ablaze. So?! Think about that. Nonetheless; my ♥️ goes out to EVERYONE WHOSE BEEN CAUGHT UP WITH/IN THIS HORRIBLE WILDFIRE(S). EVENT! May Almighty God be with you all! 🙏
CANARY ISLANDS -- Canary Islands regional President Fernando Clavijo said Sunday that police have confirmed that a wildfire raging on the Spanish tourist island of Tenerife was started deliberately.
If you live in a city close to the forest, start demanding preventative maintenance .
Love Tod ❤ very sorry for your loss lol 😢
In my opinion "This has got to be global boiling. No one would start these fires deliberately, "Or would they?"" You have to keep an open mind, But not so open that your brains fall out.
I saw a fire that was started in West Kelowna On the weekend someone started a huge grassfire right near the highway Lots of arson going on
@@jeannedenbigh8919 That's horrible. did you report this incident? In Israel many fires are started by Arabs, they want to burn the country.
Cómo lamento lo que paso Todd con éste incendio,yo miraba su programa por cable vivala o vendala Vancouver con Guillian, le mando unas bendiciones 🙏. dé argentina 🇦🇷
Take away here is how much impact this has on kids. Adults can process while kids will struggle and parents have little to console with.
Kids are resilient, they take cue from adults.
Crazy weather very hot set fire
Everyone needs to have a 'Bug Out Bag & Plan' ..... aloha from Hawaii
Notice in the pictures of the wildfire, Houses have been completely destroyed, But the trees still look green and O K, almost identical to the Maui fires. How is this possible.? That's just my opinion.
Also identical to the Paradise Fires. And the Lahaina fire, And I am sure Yellowknife also only has 1 highway out . Can not discount evil agendas in this day and age. One must be logical and address all possibilities, however heinous one agenda might be. Could be weather warfare. Can’t rule it out. Hopefully not. There is a Simpson episode where a high technology beam strikes buildings and living beings and dissolves them to ashes. Burnt down the city. Simpson is a good one for predicting the WEF agenda. Just saying. Saw a few weather systems on satellite get steered by these microwave beams, which is why I am starting to question why Raytheon, and the Defence aerospace departments are experimenting with such powerful destructive energy weapons. Supposedly China is using them as well. Can deliver a destructive energy from satellite apparently.
See Off Grid with Curtis Stone for his take on the Kelowna fire. Very different view point.
Why does the North shore on the Shuswap not on the NEWS?¿
Saw lots on the Shuswap fires on tonight’s local news!
Very sad what is happening in Canada so sad news
Hope they’re given all the help they need and are allowed to rebuild quickly like Lytton
There is no Lytton
So glad Todd and his neighbours got out. Hard to feel bad for the foolish one who stayed, against evac orders.
Why isnt the premier of Alberta being called to task on her approach to the climate?
...Dan Kami uji mereka dengan (nikmat) yang baik-baik dan (bencana) yang buruk-buruk agar mereka kembali (kepada kebenaran).

Ball locks. We know what you are dew ing to us. BLUE DEFLECTS THE BEAMS BABY! . . . SEE? WE ADE ALREADY LEARNING TO REFLECT THIS BACK ON DEW. 😊
Nam myoho rengekyo 🙏 pray 🌍 peace be safe*+/
Feel for all who lost there stuff. Such a bad year .we really need a 50 plane fire squadron.
He’s got lots of money anyway he can rebuild?
Its tragic and wild fires happen every year but we never learn how to prevent it especially during very dry conditions, start throwing water bombs especially wetting the forest near residential areas before a fire starts and when wild fire already started, I would certainly throw water bombs to isolate the fire preventing it from burning to residential areas and not throwing water bombs into the fire on the very first. That may prevent the fire from burning to the houses.
Who, or what, is a Todd Talbot.
...never heard of him.
So
Did Todd really think he could escape the devastation of greenhouse gas/global warming effects in his lifetime? But, of course, similar to the gun lobby in the US, after a tragedy, it's just "thoughts and prayers but this is not the right time to talk about climate change...."
Wow. He gets a lot off free advertising, he is not the only one who lost his luxury house, this realtor is taking advantage of the bad situation, so sad
I’m sure his fans like to hear from him and sometimes it takes a celebrity to express the severity. Shame on your negativity Nancy
C'mon , is this kind of callous comment really necessary at this time on some one who has lost his home?
I think that is your own issue to address 🙏
Lol. Who cares about a multi millionaire losing his home.
Oh frick off
Naw, he'll make mega money off this
No tears
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders defines nine possible criteria for narcissistic personality disorder. Those are: a grandiose sense of self-importance; a preoccupation with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love; a belief on being special and unique, and that could only be associated with others who are also special; a need for excessive admiration; a sense of entitlement; interpersonally exploitive behavior; lack of empathy; envy of others or believing that others are envious of him or her; a demonstration of arrogant and haughty behaviors.= Justin Trudeau.
Wrong video? weird comment.
@@debrap947 Nope . Clear reflection of what's really wrong with this country is it's Liberal Federal lack of leadership and support to Canadians.
Get used of being homeless 😂
