Logan later said one of the things that “startled” him was when he spoke to an anonymous firefighter who pointed out that he was wearing a department shirt.

The Academy Award winners both live in Los Angeles, and Avary, 59, told Logan that she was unable to get insurance on her home because of the wildfires.
Tarantino, 61, later told the podcaster that he was “lucky” the fire didn't reach his Hollywood Hills home, adding that he was “scared” to even mention it.
Rogan, who last mentioned talking to firefighters while hosting “Fear Factor,” brought up his warning one day that “right-handed winds” sparked wildfires that burned L.A. “all the way to the ocean.”
