They say lightning doesn't strike twice. But wildfire sure does. Ben Holden moved to Colorado for graduate school-- specifically to Superior. That was just before The Marshall Fire tore through town. This past weekend, he went on a long-planned hike with some fellow students and on the descent, the group spotted trouble.
