🚨🇺🇸 HUNDREDS OF INMATES JOIN FRONTLINES TO FIGHT CALIFORNIA WILDFIRES

931 incarcerated Californians are battling wildfires, cutting containment lines and removing fuel to slow flames, according to the CDCR. 

Participants earn $5.80–$10.24 per day, sentence reductions, and can pursue firefighting careers post-release.

CDCR Secretary Jeff Macomber: 

“Their commitment to protecting lives and property cannot be overstated.”

In the Palisades Fire, S-70 Firehawk helicopters are aiding efforts, conducting water drops as inmates and firefighters work to contain the blaze.
