Description
July 12, 2017
The Laska family, who've lived near Princeton for 30 years, lost their flooring business and several other structures in a wildfire.
But George and Irena Laska refuse to leave-- despite the fact that their property is under an evacuation order.
The couple shared pictures of the devastation with reporter Shelby Thom, who also spoke to their daughter, who is on the other side of the barricades, about her parent's ordeal.
