Gunnery Sgts. Victor Rodriguez and Kevin O'Donnell had gotten lost on South San Pedro Street looking for parking near Sam's Hofbrau Strip Club when they saw smoke coming from the back of a parked vehicle.

"Half price lap dances for military didn't start for another twenty minutes so we stopped to check it out," said Rodriguez.

When they opened the rear doors they say they were "shocked" to discover famous volcano dragon and USMC legend, Doug Swanson, 47. Unable to stay in local shelters due to fire codes, he was living inside the smoldering, hollowed out 1982 Chevrolet Starcraft.

"We couldn't believe it was him," O'Donnell said. "We'd thought he was dead because that Devil Dog from the commercial really jacked him up. Went through the obstacles and across the laser beam bridge swingin' his sword like a straight up p-i-m-p."
