The Smokehouse Creek wildfire has forced families to flee their homes in hopes of escaping the massive blaze, which has already killed one person.

Tyler McCain and his family are among those who fled the Fritch area as the fire approached their home, which eventually went up in flames, according to CBS News and CNN.

The father of three shared a video on Facebook that showed his 3-year-old daughter Addison in tears over the loss of their home. In the clip, Tyler asked Addison why she was crying. “I want [the] house,” she sobbed, as her father rubbed her shoulder.

“We'll get another house, okay?” Tyler told his daughter, who whimpered “okay” as she continued to cry.

The family was returning home from running errands on Monday when they began driving through the smoke, CBS News reported. They packed a small bag that night, and by 2 p.m. the next day, they were leaving their area with their pets in tow.

On Wednesday, the family returned to their property and found their home burned down, per the outlets. Several homes on the block were also burned, while others were completely untouched.

Tyler said “everybody in the car broke down” when they saw their home.

Seeing his daughter cry broke his heart and the dad says he regrets not grabbing more before they fled, like her favorite stuffed animal.

“Stuff can be replaced, but it’s hard to see your kids get ripped out of their life like that,” he said, per CNN.
