Steve Guttenberg Helps Neighbors Evacuate During Los Angeles Wildfires

Steve Guttenberg, widely recognized for his roles in hit films like “Police Academy“ and “Three Men and a Baby”, proved he’s a real-life hero during the recent wildfires in Los Angeles County. The actor jumped into action when flames threatened his Pacific Palisades neighborhood, helping his community during a life-threatening situation.

“I’ve Never Seen Anything Like This”

Speaking to CNN’s Laura Coates, Guttenberg described the shocking transformation of his neighborhood:

“At 9 o’clock in the morning, it was an idyllic Pacific Palisades. By 10:30, the sky turned dark like it was nighttime.”

The devastating LA County wildfires have been tearing through the area, forcing thousands to evacuate. Residents are dealing with unpredictable flames, heavy smoke, and urgent evacuation orders.

Guttenberg Clears Roads for Evacuation

While assisting, Guttenberg told KTLA he noticed abandoned cars blocking key roads, making it harder for people to escape.

“There are people stuck up there. Families, pets—they need help. I’m clearing Palisades Drive and moving cars as far as I can.”

Guttenberg explained that chaos unfolded as he tried to get home:

“I saw mothers having panic attacks, little kids crying, and people struggling to get their families out. Some couldn’t even speak English but were desperate to escape.”

As the flames approached, Guttenberg worked tirelessly to clear paths for firetrucks and help residents evacuate.

“This is the Most Unbelievable Fire”

Guttenberg wasn’t alone in facing this disaster. Other Hollywood stars have also been impacted:

• Mark Hamill, best known for “Star Wars,” evacuated his Malibu home, describing the flames as the most horrific since 1993.
• James Woods shared emotional updates after his home in the Pacific Palisades was destroyed. His niece even offered her piggy bank to help rebuild their house.

Devastation in Pacific Palisades

The wildfires also consumed parts of Pacific Palisades High School, famous for being a filming location for movies like “Carrie” and “Freaky Friday”. Reality star Spencer Pratt revealed on social media that his home, along with his parents’ house, was burned in the fires.

“We Are One Big Community”

Guttenberg shared a heartfelt message of unity:

“When a crisis like this happens, you realize cars and jewels don’t matter. What matters is people. We’re not just a street or a town; we’re one big community.”

Stay Safe During Wildfires

With over 15,000 acres burned and zero containment as of Wednesday, the Palisades Fire serves as a grim reminder of the power of nature. Residents are urged to follow evacuation orders and prioritize safety.
