An actor has been driving into the fire zones in LA and risking his life to rescue pets and people left behind. When William McNamara, 59, who lives in Santa Monica, California, saw a plume of smoke rising above the city, he took to the streets. Known for his roles in NYPD Blue, Law & Order: SVU, he also has a history of performing high-stakes rescue on National Geographic’s Animal Intervention show. He has spent the last few days driving his rental car around Pacific Palisades, to save people and pets – even venturing behind police and fire lines. His shocking videos show him staggeringly close to the flames as he pulls them to safety and into his rental car.
