Ashton Kutcher uses his green thumb to save his friend's house from a devastating wildfire… by breaking a garden hose.
The video shows Ashton watering plants outside a friend's property in the Pacific Palisades to prevent the property from going up in flames… in a fire that has already destroyed scores of homes and businesses.
There are currently so many out-of-control fires raging in the area that firefighters are overwhelmed and people are taking matters into their own hands… including Ashton.
A house near Ashton's fire safety measures has already burned down…so there's a lot at stake 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 fire like this, anything that can contain the flames will help .
Many celebrities have already lost their homes in the Palisades… and Ashton is doing what he can to stop that number from growing.
