The fire, which began in the village of Malia and spread over 100 sq km, destroyed their house and belongings. Ben and his wife Lucy, along with their three-year-old son, managed to escape, but returned to find only the charred remains of their home. The family, now staying with Lucy's parents, are dealing with the trauma and loss while trying to rebuild their lives.
