The California Department of Forestry and Fire Proection (CAL FIRE) is looking outside the box for support personnel on the fire lines. CAL FIRE recently visited the Las Colinas Detention and Reentry Facility for women in Santee to recruit inmates for the fire camp program.
The fire camp program allows low-level offenders to complete their time outside as support crews to back up professional firefighters during wildfires all over the state. Watch our video to learn how the program benefits the community and contributes to public safety.
