Well, well, well—did a certain Pratt just channel his inner firefighter? Apparently, Spencer Pratt's dad, the infamous William, felt a surge of heroism while driving and spotted flames devouring a two-story house under construction in Pacific Palisades. Because, you know, someone has to save the day, right?
Sources claim he thought, "Why wait for professionals when I have a hose?" So, instead of leaving the heavy lifting to actual firefighters, he decided to showcase his superman skills. High drama alert!
He did call 911—bless his heart—but clearly couldn’t resist the urge to don the cape of a wannabe hero. The firefighters showed up six minutes later, which is practically an eternity in reality TV time, and took a casual 20 minutes to douse the flames. Talk about a hot mess!
Let’s not forget that William and his chaos-loving son were displaced by a much more serious fire just last January, leaving our favorite drama magnet with some alleged lasting trauma (and maybe a little PTSD). What caused this latest blaze? Still a mystery, but it’s safe to say they should’ve left the heroics to the professionals.
No injuries reported, but who knows what kind of fallout this ill-advised stunt might generate—stay tuned because you know the drama is far from over!
