Heroism amidst the chaos

Sometimes, if you really need to get something done, you do, indeed, have to do it yourself: "How a ‘warrior’ brain surgeon saved his Malibu street from wildfires and looters".

Chester Griffiths finished performing brain surgery, climbed into his car and drove across Los Angeles to save his beachfront Malibu home from the wildfires raging around the city.
It was a scenario the 62-year-old had been preparing for for years: he had done the training, sourced the fire hoses, and briefed his son and next-door neighbour about the course of action.
Now was the time to put it into practice.
