🚨🇺🇸 INMATES BATTLE LA BLAZE FOR $5 A DAY: FIRES DON'T JUDGE WHO FIGHTS THEM... THEY'LL BURN REGARDLESS

As 800 incarcerated firefighters risk their lives in LA's inferno, they earn mere pennies wearing broken hand-me-down gear. 

These unsung heroes make up 20% of California's fire response, facing four times the injury rate of regular firefighters.

Former inmate firefighter Anthony Pedro:

"Fires don't judge who fights them. Humans do." 

Pedro lived in his car after release. 

While they save homes today, most will be denied firefighting jobs tomorrow - another residual effect of a broken system propagated by confused priorities.
