Los Angeles firefighters extinguished a “rubbish fire” abutting the property of late-night host Jimmy Kimmel less than 48 hours after he returned to ABC’s airwaves following a weeklong suspension for comments he made about the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
The Los Angeles Fire Department was called to one of Kimmel’s homes on Marmont Avenue in the Hollywood Hills just after 7 a.m. local time on Thursday.
Around a half-dozen firefighters put out the fire, which was described as abutting the side of Kimmel’s home, an LAFD spokesperson told The Post.

There were no injuries or damage reported.
When asked if there was any information as to what caused the fire, the LAFD spokesperson told The Post that there was none.
The LAFD spokesperson declined to provide any further information. The Post has sought comment from Kimmel’s representatives.

Kimmel thrust himself into national headlines 10 days ago after he devoted his Sept. 15 monologue on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” to the Kirk assassination — suggesting that the Turning Point USA’s alleged shooter was a member of the pro-Trump “MAGA” movement.
The comments by Kimmel sparked outrage, prompting ABC to indefinitely suspend the late-night star after FCC Chair Brendan Carr told a podcaster that his agency may force parent company Disney to take action.
Carr threatened to suspend ABC’s licenses while affiliate owners Nexstar and Sinclair said they would preempt Kimmel’s show.
Kimmel’s suspension prompted critics to accuse the Trump administration of suppressing speech — a charge that the White House denies.
