The only thing Tristan Brigden and Rozander St Jean could think about after losing their Peachland home in a fire, was the well-being of their upstairs neighbours.

Brigden said their friends (Alexa and Jay) are devastated following the May 18 blaze that burned through a house on Coldham Road.

Brigden added that he and St Jean have received help from Emergency Support Services and are staying in a hotel.
