Jonathan Scott Has Been Helping Individuals Who Have Been Affected by the Los Angeles Fires
Drew Scott’s brother Jonathan Scott has been vocal about wanting to help those affected by the Los Angeles fires, which occurred in January 2025. In a March 2025 interview with KCAL, Jonathan Scott explained that his “goal is to try and help [Los Angeles] residents to understand the steps because it’s incredibly confusing.” He also said he wants those deciding to rebuild their homes to know they “can build back better.”
Jonathan Scott gave some advice for those rebuilding their homes following the Los Angeles fires while speaking to KTLA 5 in April 2025. For instance, he recommended to “not build back with vented attics or vented crawl spaces.”
“That’s how embers get into your home, and starts the fire from the inside,” said Jonathan Scott during the interview.
The HGTV personality also recommended ensuring “all materials in the exterior of your home are Class A non-combustible” when rebuilding.

He also noted that many other families in the Los Angeles area are in similar situations.
“It’s hard — so many families going through a situation like that. Where they just lost everything. There was no time to grab anything,” said Jonathan Scott.
