Jay Leno Delivers Hot Meals to Firefighters Battling Devastating Los Angeles Wildfires

The comedian used his vintage fire truck to provide food to first responders while highlighting the destruction and community response to the fires.

  • Jay Leno has served meals to firefighters and first responders using his 1941 American LaFrance fire truck, visiting multiple relief sites including Pasadena's Rose Bowl and Pacific Palisades.
  • The Los Angeles wildfires have destroyed over 10,000 structures, displaced more than 80,000 people, and caused at least 25 confirmed deaths.
  • Leno compared the devastation to 9/11 and Hiroshima, describing Pacific Palisades as completely wiped out, with rebuilding expected to take years.
  • The fires, including the Palisades and Eaton blazes, have scorched nearly 40,000 acres and could result in damages exceeding $150 billion, making them among the costliest in U.S. history.
  • Other celebrities, such as Jamie Lee Curtis, Eva Longoria, and Jennifer Garner, have also contributed to relief efforts through donations and volunteering.
