Superman Actor Praises ‘Heroic’ LA Fire First Responders
By Movieguide® Contributor
Actor Dean Cain shared his lament for the Palisade fires and the utter destruction that has befallen his home city through these terrible blazes.
“It’s stunning to see the devastation and what took place,” Cain told Fox News. “But, you know, I call this the perfect storm. It’s a perfect storm of mismanagement and failure of leadership because the Santa Ana winds aren’t new, fires in this part of California aren’t new. We grew up fighting them and knowing what was going on…I have so many friends and family still [in LA], fortunately, everybody is okay. But so many of my friends have lost their houses, lost everything.”
“I gotta say, the firefighters and the first responders are just unbelievable, heroic, incredible, and the people are such great people and they are used to fighting these things,” he added. “But you can’t do it when your tools are taken from you and that’s what happened here.”
Cain’s lament of the destruction has been shared by countless celebrities who have been affected by the fire themselves or know someone who has.
“We are praying God pours rain down on Los Angeles. Thank you firefighters and first responders for everything you’re doing to keep people safe and fight these fires. You are true heros,” Great American Family actress Candace Cameron Bure posted on Wednesday.

The fires began last Tuesday with multiple blazes popping up around LA County. Since then, over 35,000 acres of land have been razed with more than 10,000 structures destroyed. The fires have claimed the lives of 10 people and 180,000 people have been evacuated, with an additional 200,000 under evacuation warnings. Unfortunately, the largest fires have yet to be under control with the Palisade Fire only 8% contained and the Eaton Fire only 3% contained.
Having evacuated their homes with little hope of having anything to return to, many celebrities have asked for prayer for themselves and their communities. Please keep these LA residents in your prayers and pray that the firefighters will begin to gain an edge on these fires so they can get them under control.
