one of hundreds of homes and other buildings in the town that were destroyed

ahead of the Caldor Fire, Mark and
Susan and their six cats had spent

60s, soft spoken, and wears a black
ball cap and jacket both emblazoned
with the orange emblem of baseball's
San Francisco Giants. His black t-shirt
reads " Caldor Fire 2021. " He describes

for a wildfire: large efforts like replacing
the roof and deck, and weekend
projects that added small but vital
pieces of protection. He taps the siding
