Steve Guttenberg doesn\u2019t just play a good guy on the screen. <\/p>\n
The actor, best known for performances in hit films like \u201cPolice Academy\u201d and \u201cThree Men and a Baby,\u201d sprang into action when Los Angeles County wildfires threatened the area around his Pacific Palisades neighborhood. <\/p>\n
Life-threatening fires have been racing across LA County, where residents have been faced unpredictable flames, heavy smoke and evacuation orders for thousands. <\/p>\n
Earlier, Guttenberg spoke with Los Angeles television station KTLA as he actively worked to try and clear some of the abandoned cars in an area where he said it was hindering people\u2019s ability to evacuate. <\/p>\n
\u201cThere are people stuck up there. So we\u2019re trying to clear Palisades Drive and I\u2019m walking up there as far as I can moving cars,\u201d Guttenberg told KTLA. \u201cThere are families up there, there are pets up there. There are people that really need help.\u201d <\/p>\n
\u201cThere were mothers who were hysterical [having] panic attacks, helping them with their suitcases and they were worried about their families up there because they couldn\u2019t get them out in time,\u201d he told Coates. \u201cThere were little kids crying. There were people who couldn\u2019t speak English, driving their friends cars or their bosses cars and being careful where they drove.\u201d <\/p>\n
Ultimately, he said, the fire got so close that people were told to get out of their cars and evacuate on foot. He said he spent all day trying to move abandoned cars to make way for firetrucks to be able to get through. <\/p>\n
\u201cThis is the most unbelievable fire I\u2019ve ever seen,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
Guttenberg is just one of many recognizable faces who have been affected by the fires. <\/p>\n
\u201cStar Wars\u201d star Mark Hamill is among the thousands of LA County residents forced to evacuate their homes due to wildfires. <\/p>\n
\u201c7pm \u2013 Evacuated Malibu so last-minute there (were) small fires on both sides of the road as we approached PCH,\u201d Hamill wrote in an Instagram post on Tuesday night. \u201c <\/p>\n
He and his wife and their dog went to stay with their daughter near Hollywood. <\/p>\n
\u201cMost horrific fire since \u201993,\u201d Hamill added, before encouraging others to \u201cstay safe.\u201d <\/p>\n
Actor James Woods shared a video on social media of the view from his home in the Pacific Palisades, taken the night before he wrote it was hit by flames. <\/p>\n
\u201cI took this last night from our beautiful little home in the Palisades. Now all the fire alarms are going off at once remotely,\u201d Woods wrote. \u201cIt tests your soul, losing everything at once, I must say.\u201d <\/p>\n
\u201cShe came out with her little Yeti piggy bank for us to rebuild our house,\u201d he said, breaking down in tears. <\/p>\n
Parts of Pacific Palisades High School, a location for films including the horror classic \u201cCarrie\u201d and the 2003 movie \u201cFreaky Friday,\u201d was also engulfed in flames from the Palisades Fire, which has spread to more than 15,000 acres and zero containment as of Wednesday afternoon. <\/p>\n
Reality star Spencer Pratt, who is married to Heidi Montag, posted a photo of their children\u2019s room burning. Both their house and Pratt\u2019s parents\u2019 house burned in the fires, according to his social media on Wednesday. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
