Johnny Galecki Thanks Firefighters on Ruins of Destroyed Home
Remember when Johnny Galecki’s home was consumed by a raging wildfire?
It blazed through Galecki’s primary residence and has destroyed countless other homes and firefighters continue to combat the blaze — one all too common in Southern California’s dry climate.
He’s gone out of his way to thank firefighters, and now he’s shared a photo of what little remains of his home.
You may remember that Galecki vowed to only return to where his home once was when it was safe to do so and not before.
You’d think that this would be common sense.
Unfortunately, some people don’t have a lot of that.
They’ll go into condemned buildings and, yes, try to sneak around within a blazing wildfire or immediately in its wake.
The charred ruins of a house are not a safe place to be.
Unless the site has been cleared by experts.
In the photo below, you can see that it was definitely safe, as he’s hugging a firefighter. …
While standing on all that remains of his former home.
It’s hard to imagine losing your home like that.
You can barely tell that a house once stood there.
Yes, he’s rich, but this is his primary residence.
He captioned the photo:
“Thank you to the brothers and sisters of @calfire It is the profound risks that you accept and the sacrifices you and your families make that keep us safe.”
But he didn’t just thank the brave firefighters.
“Thanks also to the many of you who have reached out in support. It is far from lost on us here. #muchlove #movingforwardstronger”
Remember, celebrities are always conscious of the fact that they have innumerable fans.
Countless fans have reached out with their sympathies and support.
Galecki, of course, says that he is less concerned with his own losses.
(Again, he has a lot of money)
He’s more concerned about others in the area who’ve lost their homes to this same devastating fire.
Even for people whose homes are insured for fire, money matters.
Not every insurance policy pays enough.
Plus there are other expenses.
You can replace the home and perhaps even most of the things in it.
But you also need a place to live in the mean time — home construction can take months.
That’s especially challenging when a wildfire is still blazing, you know?
To say nothing of the priceless and irreplaceable items — like art, photographs, or other things of sentimental value.
Johnny Galecki acknowledges that a lot of people might think that he’s crazy for living in what some would describe as a desert hellscape.
(Me — I’m the one who would describe it that way)
But he loves living there.
Not just the climate, but living in the country, surrounded by nature.
(That part, I get … though don’t you wonder how he gets food delivered out there?)
And we guess that the others who lost their homes feel the same way.
The fact that he cares more about their losses than his own really speaks volumes about his character, you know?
No wonder Kaley Cuoco’s still crazy about him.
"Big Bang" Star Johnny Galecki Hugs, Thanks Firefighters

Adele Surprises Hero Firefighters Who Battled High-Rise Blaze
Adele is one of the most likable celebrities on the planet, and she’s proven that time and time again with acts of goodwill and her fantastic attitude.
Disaster struck the city of London on June 14 when Grenfell Tower, a 24-storey block of flats, went up in flames.
It was a harrowing tale that has left at least 79 people dead or missing and presumed dead.
Firefighters appeared on the scene to tackle the blaze quickly, but it proved to be a difficult task as the fire spread from one end of the building to another.
The firefighters struggled to keep the fire under control because of how quickly it spread.
Part of the reason for that is down to the materials used to refurbish the building a few years back.
In the days that followed, it emerged that the cladding was banned in the U.K. because the materials were highly flammable.
Ever since the fire ripped through the building last week, members of the public and celebrities have been showing up at the scene to help out in any way they can.
Lilly Allen and Rita Ora have been spotted there, and even Adele.
All three of them are from London, so the incident must have hit a little too close to home for them.
The world is a scary place right now, with crazy things going on every single day.
Adele decided to surprise a group of firefighters on Monday and arrived with cake for them to thank them for their efforts in tackling the fire.
This act showed off just how relatable the singing sensation is.
Station manager, Ben King opened up to The Independent about her arrival at the station and what went down.
“So we opened the door to her and then she took her sunglasses off and said, ‘Hi, I’m Adele.’ Everyone was so shocked,” King recalled.
“She came in, came up to the mess and had a cup of tea with the watch and then she joined us for the minute’s silence. We have had so much support for the local community, and we cannot thank everyone enough.”
What do you think about all of this?
