‘Big Bang Theory’ star thanks firefighters who tried to save his house

A “Big Bang Theory” star took to Instagram to thank firefighters who tried to save his house from a wildfire in California.

Johnny Galecki’s vacation home in San Luis Obispo burned Monday in a fire that has consumed around 1,500 acres so far, according to People magazine.

“Thank you to the brothers and sisters of @calfire. It is the profound risks that you accept and the sacrifices you and your families make that keep us safe,” Galecki, 42, wrote Thursday on Instagram.

Nearly 250 people were evacuated from their homes Monday night, KSBY reported. All roads leading to the area of the fire were closed.
