Olympic swimmer Gary Hall Jr.’s home was destroyed in the devastating Los Angeles wildfires this week … along with the many medals he won throughout his career.
He evacuated the home with only his dog, Puddles, insulin and some paintings — including one of his grandfather.
“Hot embers were raining down on me as I jumped into the car,” Hall Jr. told 12News. “It was just pandemonium.”
“I did not have time to grab anything,” Hall Jr. said. “Everything is gone.”
