‘They’re true heroes. I mean, I play heroes in the movies, but it’s movies. These are the true action heroes,’ he said, according to the site. 

Arnold continued to heap praise upon the firefighters on Twitter, where he recalled visiting the devastated town.   

Wearing a USA hat and standing in front of a structure damaged by the blaze, he recalled seeing how the community came together to support one another in time of the tragedy.

The Camp Fire that began two weeks ago has scorched an area roughly the size of Chicago, burned down more than 13,000 homes and killed at least 81 people, with the number increasing daily. 

Hundreds of people are unaccounted for – a list that’s constantly changing and has spread confusion about the ultimate number of victims. 

It has become the deadliest U.S. wildfire in at least a century, and has destroyed the town of Paradise, population 27,000, and surrounding communities.
