GRIZZLY FLATS — Buck Minitch left his grueling job with Cal Fire this summer to join the local Pioneer Fire Protection District, hoping to spend more time with his wife, Hannah, and their two daughters, exploring the woods around their mountaintop home in El Dorado County.
But three days after the Caldor Fire broke out, the Pioneer Fire chief called Buck to the fire lines, while his wife fled their tiny community of Grizzly Flats with the girls, three dogs, a kitten and a duffel bag of clothes.
