A man showed before and after pictures of his rare car collection that burned as the wildfire passed through his neighborhood.

After residents were allowed to return home, Gary Dower was able to access the results of the fire that burned his pricey collection of rare cars. He returned to the Oct. 20 devastation and posted photos of the charred metal remains online, the Daily Mail reported. He contrasted the car remains with the pre-fire car photos still on his cellphone.
