Army vet who saved home with sprinklers says 'I'm built for this'

"We're vets. We're needed. This is what we do. It's my duty to my community. It was my duty to my country 10 years ago, and I'm built for this."

An Army veteran who saved his home using cheap sprinklers shares his thoughts on the duty he and other veterans have to the Palisades community.

The fact he rigged a low cost solution and made preparations is why his house still stands. He learned from a previous fire evacuation and wanted to be prepared. Kudos!

If every leader can’t be responsible to save their state and citizens. They should resign.

Thanks for your service. The politicians of CA should work with you to get this disaster cleaned up. Our Veterans are trained to deal with disastrous conditions. Veterans need work and we need them. Get a crew together and pay them well to fix this problem. God bless this man and people like him.❤

Non-flammable insulative Red Clay Tile roofed houses survived as seen in the picture. Conversely, asphalt shingle tile roofs fell to the rain of embers.

God bless you sir 🙏🇺🇸🙏Thank you for your sacrifice for us & our country ❤ Its because of men like you (& my entire military family for generations) that i think it should be mandatory for every male to serve at least 4 years in the branch of their choice!
