Devyn Gale died on July 13 after being struck by a falling tree while fighting a wildfire near Revelstoke, B.C.

Gale’s brother and sister, Nolan and Kayln, who are also firefighters, gave emotional speeches about their sister at a public memorial in Revelstoke on Saturday.“She was kind, caring and loving. She was always willing to show up for Kayln and I in whatever way we needed.”“Her heart was open and her mind was always searching for ways to enrich her’s and other’s lives,” she said.

“When I met Devyn, she struck me as being thoughtfully reserved with a drive and a desire to learn,” he said. “She joined the crew and fit right in. She grew to a person that everyone wanted to work with.” A third year BCWS crew member, Gale was also working toward a bachelor of science in nursing at the University of British Columbia in Kelowna.

“Devyn brought a lot of joy to her family, and her grit, integrity and passion to grow made it easy to find pride in her,” he said.
