Ashton Kutcher is using his gardening skills to help protect his friend’s home from a devastating wildfire in Pacific Palisades. In a video, Ashton is seen watering plants outside the property in an effort to prevent it from catching fire as the blaze rages through the area. With numerous homes and businesses already destroyed, and firefighters stretched thin, Ashton’s quick action is a small but meaningful contribution in the battle against the fire.
Though it might seem simple, watering plants can make a significant difference in such conditions. According to Cal Fire, well-watered plants are less flammable, and in a situation like this, any effort to slow the fire’s spread could be crucial. With other homes already lost nearby, Ashton’s actions could be vital in helping prevent further damage. As many celebrities have already been affected by the fire, Ashton is doing his part to protect his community.
