David Duchovny lives in Malibu. Malibu is burning. Firemen wanted his family, including actress wife Tea Leoni to evacuate from their home while it was safe to leave. David Duchovny said no, and that he and his family would "stay and wait things out."
Fire fighters have been told by officials not to force people to leave their homes because there are just too many fires and not enough time or people to fight the fires as it is. You just tell people to leave, and if they don't, they don't.
Most people die in these types of fires because they ignored warnings and when they finally decided to leave, it was too late and are surrounded by flames. Being surrounded is how most firemen are killed as well.
David Duchovny has a wife and child, and for better or worse this story will spread and people will see it and say, "hey that X-Files fella and his wife decided to stay in place. They even have a kid so I'm sure we will be ok also."
