Los Angeles has been battered by intense winds today, creating a combustible situation for L.A.’s fire-ready landscape. Throughout the day, a brush fire has spread in the Pacific Palisades, an affluent L.A. neighborhood north of Santa Monica, endangering lives, destroying property, and prompting an evacuation order. As a result, many residents are abandoning their Teslas and Mercedes in the streets, making it difficult for fire trucks to get through and extinguish the blaze. Thankfully, that neighborhood has people like Steve Guttenberg in it. Appearing on KTLA, a local Los Angeles news channel, Guttenberg surprised reporter Gene Kang, who came upon Guttenberg as he cleared the road.
“What’s happening is people take their keys with them as if they’re in a parking lot,” Guttenberg said. “This is not a parking lot. We really need people to move their cars. If you leave your car behind, leave the key in there so a guy like me can move your car so that these fire trucks can get up there.”
