Comedian Jay Leno’s goal is simple: Feed the people who are “there to save your life” amid raging fires in the Los Angeles area. The legendary late-night talk show host, 74, cooked up more than $21,000 worth of ribs, chicken and more for the first responders who spent the past week battling flames in Southern California. Leno likened the Los Angeles Fire Department’s setup to a “military operation,” commending its ability to work tirelessly even as flames turned the area into a “war zone.” At least 24 people have died in the wildfires. As of Tuesday, AccuWeather estimates the total damage and economic loss from the fires could be $135 billion to 150 billion, and Poweroutage.us shows at least 85,000 people across California are without power.
