Oscar-nominated actor Jake Gyllenhaal, 26, played firefighter on Wednesday after he and his sister, actress Maggie Gyllenhaal, 29, were forced from their beds due to an early morning fire at Manka's Inverness Lodge in the San Francisco Bay area of California. According to the Marin Independent Journal, the Gyllenhaals -- who frequently vacation at the inn -- were among the dozen or so guests that fled into the wind and rain at close to 3 a.m. "Jake was helping me pull things out of the fire," chef and co-owner Daniel DeLong told the Journal, adding that the actors were helpful and concerned about the historic lodge. The fire reportedly started after a tree crashed into the back of the inn, catalyzing a fire that destroyed the main building and its world-renowned restaurant where Prince Charles dined last year. No injuries were reported. DeLong said they were coming off a great Christmas holiday during which he cooked grits for the Gyllenhaals, as well as actress Frances McDormand and her husband, filmmaker Joel Coen, whose credits include Fargo, The Big Lebowski and O Brother, Where Art Thou? This blaze is the second celebrity-related fire in the last eight days. On December 20, the Hawaiian home of Lost’s Evangeline Lilly burned to the ground, possibly due to a faulty electrical socket. There were no injuries as the house was empty at the time of the incident. YUM!!
