TWAIN, United States: Even as dense smoke from an enormous wildfire blows closer to Jon Cappleman's home in rural northern California, the 60-something man rebuffs calls to evacuate.
"A lot of people think we're foolish," he says.
But if it comes down to it, Cappleman has a plan: he will fight the flames of the Dixie Fire himself.
