In 1991, the Oakland firestorm set Claremont Hills ablaze, devastating around 3,000 homes and leaving 1,520 acres of residential land in ruins. Jim Molesky, a survivor of the firestorm, now lives above the ashes of his previous home, which burned to the ground. Within his new house, he preserves the remnants of history that survived the flames— embodying California’s resilience as a state that must face wildfires every year.
