The rapidly-moving flames of the Caldor wildfire continue to create damage in parts of California. It has forced people to leave their homes, leading to mass abandonment. Amidst the chaos, a video of a man from South Lake Tahoe has gone viral on social media. In the video, he’s seen spreading just a hint of relief as he plays the violin.

While people made an attempt to escape the havoc and the roads remained blocked due to traffic, Mel Smothers performed with his violin and distracted the crowd from the apprehensive situation.
