Jay Leno feeds LA’s first responders: ‘They’re great men and women’

() Comedian Jay Leno’s goal is simple: Feed the people who are “there to save your life” amid raging fires in the Los Angeles area.

The legendary late night talk show host, 74, cooked up more than $21,000 worth of ribs, chicken and more for the first responders who spent the past week battling flames in Southern California.

“My God, these guys can eat. They went through the whole thing. We need more food,” Leno said. “So we got more food today. Got more food tomorrow, more food Thursday.”

Leno likened the Los Angeles Fire Department’s setup to a “military operation,” commending their ability to work tirelessly, even as flames turn the area into a “war zone.”

“Everybody thinks Malibu is heaven, but you have heaven and hell, literally, on the same street,” Leno said. “Over here, there’s nothing, and over here, it’s just the chimneys that are standing.”

Sitting in front of his vintage fire truck, Leno told “CUOMO” on Tuesday that he’s seen an unparalleled sense of community and care among Californians during the tragedy.

“It doesn’t matter what sign you have on your lawn. You know, it’s come down to neighbors caring for one another,” Leno said.

“I haven’t heard one political opinion. I just heard people ask, ‘How can we save this?'” he added.

At least 24 people have died in the wildfires. As of Tuesday, AccuWeather estimates the total damage and economic loss from the fires could be $135-150 billion and Poweroutage.us shows at least 85,000 people across California are without power.
