Los Angeles firefighters are trying their best to bring comfort in the chaos.
During the raging brush fires in the Los Angeles areas of the Pacific Palisades, Topanga and Malibu, firefighters jumped into action to save cherished belongings from burning homes.
“Firefighters responding to the #PalisadesFire saved several belongings from a burning home,” NBC LA reported Jan. 7 on Instagram, alongside a video of uniformed firefighters bringing a variety of sentimental items to safety on the sidewalk. “LAFD’s No. 37 station was on Lachman Lane battling the fire when some firefighters began moving photo albums, a grandfather clock and other belongings.”
Indeed, the local heroes went above and beyond to bring an ounce of comfort to the tragedy. And after someone noticed their good deeds, one firefighter responded, “Just trying to save some photos.”
And among the many that were affected by the wildfire, which was being spurred by winds of up to 80 mph, were The Hills alums Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag. While the couple was able to safely evacuate their Pacific Palisades neighborhood with their sons Gunner, 7, and Ryker, 2, the home they were forced to leave behind did not survive the blaze.
