During this period, Bob Swart held position as a Structure Protection Specialist for the BC Office of the Fire Commissioner. Firestorm Enterprises Ltd. was born just a year later, incorporating in 2004. That summer saw over 300 homes and many businesses destroyed. More than 45,000 people were forced to evacuate and over 260 thousand hectors (640 thousand acres) of high value forest were destroyed. The estimated loss totaled more than 700 million dollars.
