Ashton Kutcher Takes Fight Against L.A. Wildfire Into His Own Hands

Paparazzi caught the actor hosing down plants at his friend’s home.

Ashton Kutcher took matters into his own hands and tried to protect his friend’s home from the massive wildfires blazing through the Los Angeles area. Paparazzi footage captured Kutcher holding a garden hose and watering plants and trees near a Pacific Palisades house that TMZ reported is owned by his friend. According to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, watering plants is a beneficial method to curtail fires—as well-watered plants tend to be less flammable. Kutcher is one of many celebrities bracing against the wildfires that have caused a trail of devastation in their wake and left at least five people dead, per the Los Angeles Times. A-listers like Jamie Lee Curtis have shared that they’ve been forced to evacuate their homes, while other celebrities, such as Anna Faris, Diane Warren, Cameron Mathison, Adam Brody, and Leighton Meester have had their multimillion dollar homes burn down in the blaze.
