SANTA ROSA, Calif. (KGTV) - Celebrity chef Guy Fieri was one of the many Santa Rosa residents forced to flee this week due to the wildfires raging in Northern California.

But he's likely one of the few - if not only - with a massive BBQ trailer.

Fieri put his trailer to use Thursday, feeding evacuees and first responders affected by the local wildfires, KQED reported.

The Food Network icon, a Santa Rosa resident, estimated he and his crew were able to feed about 1,200 for lunch and another 2,500 for dinner.

Fieri recalled having to leave his home with almost no notice.

"We had to evacuate at two in the morning, and we grabbed what we could, taking pictures off the wall as fast as we could. Jumped in the truck, loaded in the dogs, and away we went," Fieri told KQED.
