His interview took place as he returned to Brentwood following his initial evacuation, 'just in case,' he said, he 'had to shut off the gas and all those little things you don’t think of, and just thought maybe I could be there and put a hose on the roof if the embers start coming over at least, something like that, or help out the neighbors.'.
