Fires are getting bigger and faster, and they're causing more devastation, and so residents and politicians are now trying to figure out how to better prepare.

The CBC's Sarah Penton brings us her documentary, With Speed and Violence.

[footsteps crunching] That's what we were doing, just kind of sifting through and seeing if we could find any little morsel of something that mattered.

The morsel Craig Milton is looking for is his wife's necklace.

And, uh, yeah, it's hard not to be inspired to rebuild when you can see all of the things around us just doing it on their own in the same spot, so...

All of this stuff is since the fire.

The documentary was produced by Sarah Penton from CBC Kelowna and Liz Hofe from the CBC Audio Documentary unit.
