Actor Speaks Out as Horrific Cali Fires Rage: 'Awful, Unfathomable, Unrecognizable'

Actor Stelio Savante said he was left "seething" after seeing how some California leaders reacted to deadly wildfires that have been ripping through the Los Angeles area. "[It has been] awful, unfathomable, unrecognizable," Savante said of the dire situation on the ground. "I have friends who've lost homes that they built with their children growing up in them that have burned to the ground. So many people have lost so much." Fires aren't rare in California, but he said the scope of this inferno is unique. Savante, whose new film "Between Borders" hits theaters Jan. 26, expressed frustration over what he sees as ill-prepared leadership. "It's a destruction — I've never seen anything like it," he said. "But I'm also honestly disgusted at the lack of preparation. We prayed for water for so many years in California. It was wasted. We have not been prepared with our firefighter shortages. We haven't cleared our brush." Savante said he was left infuriated after seeing some politicians' reactions to important questions. "Our politicians are not monarchs," he said. "They're not Kings or Queens. They are public servants. They seem to forget that very easily." As for the actor, he and his family are just miles from the blaze and were scrambling Thursday when a false alarm evacuation call came through. Fortunately, they were able to stay in their home, where they remain amid uncertainty. Despite the chaos, Savante praised the first responders.
