Henry Winkler, beloved actor and part-time detective apparently, decided to channel his inner action hero on social media, claiming that the Los Angeles wildfires were the work of an arsonist. And let me tell you, The Fonz did not hold back.
In a tweet that could double as an audition for the next action blockbuster, the 79-year-old declared:
“THERE IS an ARSONIST here in LA. May you be beaten unrecognizable!!! The pain you have caused!!!”
Yes, Henry Winkler just went full Liam Neeson.
The LAFD Responds (with a Fire Extinguisher for the Rumors)
Naturally, the Los Angeles Fire Department had to step in—not just to fight fires but to cool down the sizzling speculation. According to TMZ (because of course TMZ is involved), fire officials gently reminded everyone, including Mr. Winkler, that there’s no definitive proof yet that these fires were caused by arson. But don’t worry, an investigation is underway. So, if there is an arsonist, they better start sweating harder than a tourist stuck in LA traffic.
The Blaze Report: A Wildfire Roll Call
Currently, LA is dealing with a whole lineup of wildfires that sound like rejected names for a boy band:
– The Palisades Fire (the lead singer, clearly)
– The Eaton Fire (backup vocals, always a crowd favorite)
– The Sunset Fire (brings the vibes)
– The Woodley Fire (low-key but reliable)
– The Hurst Fire (loves drama)
– The Lidia Fire (probably the diva of the group)
– And the show-stealer: The Kenneth Fire (don’t ask why it’s called Kenneth; it just is).
The Kenneth Fire, which broke out near Woodland Hills on January 9, is already causing a ruckus. It’s suspected to be the work of an arsonist—cue dramatic gasps—and the LAPD has reportedly detained a suspect. Officer Sean Dinse told News Nation that some brave citizens basically performed a real-life episode of Cops and helped nab the alleged firestarter.
As of now, the Kenneth Fire has charred over 800 acres, but firefighters have stopped its forward progress. Basically, it’s like hitting pause on a very aggressive video game. Meanwhile, the LAFD continues to investigate, Henry Winkler continues to tweet with the fury of a man on a mission, and we all continue to hope the fires get extinguished faster than an LA celebrity relationship rumor.
Stay safe, LA. And if you see Henry Winkler roaming the streets with a fire hose and a vengeance, just go with it.
THERE IS an ARSONIST here in LA . May you be beaten you unrecognizable !!! The pain you have caused !!!
