Here’s everything you need to know regarding Harrison’s encounter with the rapidly growing LA fires.
How Sebastian Harrison narrowly escaped LA Fire
The Love Me Licia star found himself face-to-face with the Los Angeles wildfires after he failed to leave the vulnerable area despite numerous warnings from the authorities.
Talking to The Telegraph, Sebastian Harrison revealed, “I stayed, even though everyone, you know, the police came and they said, ‘Evacuate,’ and everyone had left, I was the only one there.”
As such, the actor had to make a trip back to his LA residence in a bid to successfully rescue his 89-year-old father. After relocating his parent to safety, Harrison made a faint attempt to salvage the ablaze 3-acre property that he had bought in 2010. Nevertheless, the spaghetti Western veteran had to resort to hiding behind rocks after the fire ended up creeping into his house.
Harrison also explained how he tried to escape in his Mercedes car but failed to do so due to a malfunction in the vehicle. Recalling his horrid experience to the outlet, he stated, “It was hell. It was inferno. I really couldn’t see because of all the orange, breathing smoke and everything. I fell on my rib, and then I just took cover behind the rocks, and there were sheets of embers just going over me.”
Fortunately, Sebastian Harrison was able to find a functioning automobile in time and used it to escape his fiery surroundings. The ordeal ended on a positive note after firefighters were able to find the actor right before his car caught fire.
