For the past few days, the entire NFL community has been busy sharing their reactions to the Pacific Palisades wildfire. However, one man was yet to share his thoughts on the deadly wildfire that swept clean Southern California. Yes, we are talking about none other than the GOAT himself, Tom Brady. Amid all the reactions that were pouring in from the corners of the NFL, Brady has now joined them in sending prayers to those affected by something that America probably has never witnessed before.

And you know what? Brady picked a picture that shows the true nature of what has actually happened in LA. On his Instagram story, he shared an aerial shot that portrayed the thousands of houses and acres of land that were burning at night. Like it was nothing short of what ‘hell’ on earth could probably look like, as Brady wrote, “Prayers Up.” Now, the Fox Broadcaster didn’t just call for prayers. He took time to appreciate the first responders putting their lives in danger trying to save others: “Thank You to our Courageous First Responders.” 

As per the current numbers, over 180,000 people have been safely evacuated from Los Angeles County. And those numbers are only increasing as the greater Los Angeles Area continues to burn. Another 200,000 residents have received warning orders on evacuation with wildfire likely to continue sweeping parts of Southern California. But you know what’s astonishing? Amid all the destruction and thousands of buildings being reduced to ashes. Brady’s Los Angeles mansion in the Brentwood neighborhood still stands firm.

He could probably count himself lucky not to lose his 14,000-square-foot luxury mansion in LA. Now, as far as his message to America. This isn’t the first time he has praised those who are fighting for his country. Going back to Veteran’s Day in November, Brady did the same using his social media.

Besides serving as a minority owner for the Raiders, a broadcaster for Fox, and handling his other endeavors. Brady still didn’t forget to pay a heartfelt tribute to those who put their lives in danger on the front lines. Taking to his X, Brady wrote, “Happy Veterans Day to those who have proudly served this amazing country. The Real superheroes in our world.” Now, the seven-time Super Bowl champion wasn’t the only one in his Fox crew to share their reaction on Veteran’s Day.

Former Giants defensive end Michael Strahan also did the same through his Instagram, “Thank you to all veterans and active service members who courageously risk their lives to protect us every day. Your selfless service is beyond measure.” Strahan then went on to introduce his father, who used to serve in the US Army, “This is my hero, it is also my father, Maj. Gene W. Strahan, Sr. He served for 23 years in the army and was a proud member of the 82nd Airborne Division. Just as I honor my father. I keep all of you in my thoughts each and every day as we would not have the safety and freedoms we cherish without you.”

And right now, we are witnessing the same in the Pacific Palisades. As first responders, fire firefighters continue to rescue people by putting their lives in danger without any second thought.
