Tom and Jenny DiCiolli pulled up to their Ventura home Wednesday afternoon only to find mounds of rubble and ash. They had learned about the condition of their home the night before after a co-worker walking through the neighborhood surveyed the damage. “It’s sad,” said Jenny DiCiolli, 63. Jenny DiCiolli grabbed the documents for the house and birth certificates while he grabbed his computer and some photo albums — something his wife hadn’t realized. All that remained was their singed chimney, their washer and dryer, and a brand-new fence the neighbor had just installed.
