Discovery channel is filming at my house today. The story line is how the human body responds to stress, in this case a fire threatening a persons house. The actors will be jumping in the pool to escape the fire as it passes through. So I had to heat the pool to about 86 degrees. They're paying me $3,250 plus the cost of the gas to heat the pool. What's ironic is that about 5 years ago a brush fire claimed about 14 of my 18 acres, which actually turned out great in that it burned up brush that hadn't burned in about 50 years. The last pic is of my property actually burning five years ago, the rest are the film crew today.

Whats also ironic is that my job is motion picture and television production safety for Disney. I'm in Prague and Budapest this week and next for two of our films. We have a Discovery Channel fire safety officer at our house. My wife told me that while the local fire department was notified, a fire truck from another community was driving up the I-5 freeway to some training exercise and saw the fake smoke effects and pulled off the freeway and drove to my house. All the fire effects that they are doing will be digitally dropped in during post production. They're also doing a 1/20 scale model of my house for the digital work which they're going to give me.
