Steve Guttenberg evacuates neighbors at forest fires
Steve Guttenberg is not only a talented actor, but also a real hero in need. Known from films such as "Police Academy" and "Three Men and One Baby", he immediately jumped into action when the devastating Forest fires in Los Angeles threatened its residential venue in Pacific Palisades.
an unexpected scenario
"I have never seen anything like this in my whole life and I don't think many people," he said in a conversation with CNN. "At 9 a.m. it was an idyllic Pacific Palisades, and until 10 a.m., 10:30 a.m., the sky was as dark as at night." In Los Angeles, the residents fight against life -threatening fires, unpredictable flames, dense smoke and evacuation arrangements for thousands of people.
aid actions on site
Guttenberg spoke to the television station KTLA early on while he was actively working on clearing abandoned cars that hindered the evacuation process. "People sit firmly, so we try to clear Palisades Drive, and I go as far as possible and move cars," he said. "There are families and pets that really need help."When he tried to get home, he found in traffic that the situation was chaotic. "I saw mothers who were hysterical with panic attacks and I helped them with their luggage because they took care of their families who could not evacuate in time," continued Guttenberg.
the seriousness of the situation
The situation became so critical that people were asked to leave their cars and evacuate on foot. "I spent all day to move abandoned vehicles so that the fire brigade can get through," he reported. "This is the most incredible fire I've ever seen."
celebrities in need
Guttenberg is just one of many known faces affected by the fires. "Star Wars" actor Mark Hamill was forced to leave his home in Malibu. "At 7 p.m. - we had to evacuate Malibu, there were small fires on both sides of the street when we approached the PCH," he posted on Instagram. He and his family found refuge with their daughter in Hollywood and described the situation as "the most terrible fire since '93" and encouraged everyone to "remain safe".
emotional stories
actor James Woods shared a video from his house in the Pacific Palisades on social media, which was hit by flames the evening before. "I recorded the last night of our beautiful little house in the Palisades. Now all fire alarms start at the same time," he wrote, adding how heartbreaking it was to lose everything at once.
WOODS became visibly emotional when he spoke about the helpfulness of his eight-year-old niece: "She came with her little Yeti-Sparkaschen so that we could rebuild our house," he said and broke out in tears.
community spirit in the crisis
parts of the Pacific Palisades High School, known from films such as the horror classic "Carrie" and the comedy "Freaky Friday", were also recorded by the fire, which has now grasped almost 3000 ACRES without being available. Reality star Spencer Pratt shared pictures of his children's burning children's room and reported that both his house and that of his parents fell victim to the flames.
"I think this is a particularly important moment to remember that we are not just a street, a block, a city, a country or the world, but a large community," said Guttenberg. "And when a crisis occurs, everyone realizes that cars and jewelry do not count. What really matters are people."
