Key Points:

- Singer-songwriter Adrienne McCann and her partner also lost their home, personal belongings, and studio equipment in the same fire, facing significant personal and professional setbacks.
- Both artists have received substantial community support through fundraising, equipment loans, and grants from organizations such as the Guitar Center Music Foundation and MusiCares, which have provided millions in aid and resources to wildfire-affected musicians.
- Recovery remains ongoing, with Mouser rebuilding plans underway for a fire-resistant studio expected to be completed
