Actor Rob Lowe is one of the many people affected by the wildfires that have been burning in Southern California.  According to backseatcuddler.com the actor barely made it out in time.  Rob stated,

My son and I were watching the football game and my wife, who was out running errands, called and said ‘Get out, the mountain’s on fire,’ and I thought she was kidding.  I put the kids in the car, turned out of the driveway, and the entire mountain was on fire with flames shooting 200 feet n the air.  There was literally no warning.  It came out of nowhere.

How scary is that?  Good thing his wife heard about the fire in time to alert Rob.
