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.
