THE ENERGIZERS: You don’t fight fires on an empty stomach. Most of the more than 1,850 firefighters encamped for the past week at Ronald W. Caspers Wilderness Park (B1) have been fueling up on 6,000 calories per day. That’s nearly double the daily average for adult males. . . . A typical lunch: a foot-long submarine sandwich, burrito, an orange, fruit juice, Oreo cookies and a bag of M&Ms.; “They sure do eat a lot,” mused Debbie Colston, a U.S. Forest Service spokeswoman. “They’re under a lot of stress and the food is one of the few comforts the camp can provide.”

NOT HOOKED: “Baby Don’t Get Hooked on Me” was the biggest hit Mac Davis ever had. But the singer-songwriter, who is starring in “The Will Rogers Follies” at the Orange County Performing Arts Center (OC LIVE! Page 4)--which runs through Sunday--never liked it as much as the public did. . . . “I wrote a lot better songs than that,” he says. Davis prefers “Don’t Cry Daddy,” “I Believe in Music,” or “Stop and Smell the Roses.” He also gets more fan recognition these days for “It’s Hard to Be Humble.”. . . . “And that,” says Davis, “was just a novelty thing.”

TREASURE ISLAND: Lorraine Zimmerman, who operates an out-of-print book search service, is offering to defer her finder’s fee to help Laguna’s fire victims replace their burned books (E1). . . . The former owner of Fahrenheit 451 Books in Laguna Beach likens her book-hunting business to a “large treasure hunt.” She says it takes time before fire victims can take stock of their losses. But as she told one fire victim who lost hundreds of books in the Laguna fire: “There’s some kind of satisfaction each time you get a book back.”
