As the flames approached the Vacaville home of Chad Little, he reached for he only liquid he had available: Bud LightAlcohol’s long been the go-to for folks who want to create more flames, not fewer, from flaming cocktails to flambé. But Vacaville resident Chad Little did not appear to have baked Alaska on his mind when he reached for a 30-pack of Bud Light beer as the LNU Lightning Complex fires menaced his home, using the brews to fight the blaze and save his property.
What Little didn’t realize was that, as the flames neared his house, the Solano Irrigation District shut off the water, leaving him powerless against the blaze. “I didn’t have any water,” Little tells KCRA reporter Emily Maher. “I had one barrel with a little bit of water in it. I tried using that, but it didn’t work ... I had 30 packs of Bud Light in here, and I just grabbed those.”
