"The Library was absolutely 100 percent saved by the firefighters," said Magnus Toren, the director of the Henry Miller Memorial Library. Toren, sitting under the redwoods on the cool, fragrant grounds of the Library, is unequivocal in his gratitude to the firefighters. "If it weren't for them, all this would simply be gone. No doubt about it."
