Ashton Kutcher is putting his green thumb to good use, protecting his friend’s home from a devastating wildfire … by busting out a garden hose.
Video shows Ashton watering plants outside a buddy’s estate in the Pacific Palisades in an effort to prevent the property from going up in flames … in a blaze that’s already destroyed tons of homes and businesses.
There are so many out-of-control fires ravaging the area right now, firefighters are stretched thin and folks are taking things into their own hands … including Ashton.
A house down the street from Ashton’s fire-prevention efforts already burned down … so the stakes are high here.
It may not look like much, but Ashton wielding a garden hose could be a game-changer … Cal Fire says well-watered plants tend to be less flammable … and in a blaze like this, anything to curtail the flames helps.
Lots of celebs have already lost their homes in the Palisades … and Ashton’s doing what he can to stop that number from growing.
