#California man uses cans of Bud Light beer to fight wildfire

A California man used cans of Bud Light to prevent his property from going up in flames amid a massive wildfire.

Vacaville homeowner Chad Little’s family started packing their things to escape the LNU Lightning Complex Fire, but he decided he would stay put to protect the home — which he was already rebuilding after an attic fire five years ago, KCRA reported.

“This happens, and I’m like, ‘No, I can’t. I can’t let it go,’” Little told the station.

Last Wednesday, with the fire approaching, Little was prepared to fend off the inferno with hoses around the property — but then the water was turned off.

He began to clear dry grass with a rake — as his cars were torched and flames started to catch on his workshop.

“It was burning on the wood down low, and I didn’t have any water,” Little told the station. “I had one barrel with a little bit of water in it, and I tried using that. It didn’t work.”

So he turned to the only liquid he could find — a 36-pack of Bud Light.

“When I ripped up the sheet metal, it had a nail, so I was just shaking it up, popping it just and spraying them, popping it out and grabbing another one,” Little told the outlet. ”My buddies all tease me about drinking water beer, and I say, ‘Hey, saved my shop.’”

The fire department arrived just as he finished using the brew to put out the flames around his shop, he said.

The LNU Complex blaze began as a large group of fires sparked by lightning strikes more than a week ago and merged into the second-largest fire in the history of the Golden State, impacting Sonoma, Napa, Lake, Solano and Yolo, The San Francisco Chronicle reported.
