It’s doing a really good damage?
I watched another clip… they were getting $350.00 an hour and spent at least 4 hours each morning finding their *sses before going out not knowing wth to do to stop a wildfire!
Need a source on that. I doubt they make even minimum wage as incarcerated people.
Inmates do not get paid that amount and they save structures and homes and it is not maximum security inmates out there fighting the fires. You show me where an inmate makes that much and I will gladly admit I am wrong but I worked fire camps several times with inmates at my side and they got bare minimum and worked damn hard!!
One of the houses in my community is on fire today it’s not the first fire that’s been in our area I can’t help but think what’s really causing these fires I know there’s been a few arrests for people doing them on purpose? 🤔💭
Even though all the media is putting it out as the temperature that’s changed and how hot it’s been and how dry it’s been this fire directly in front of a lake, besides we’ve had rain each and every day for the last 30 days
I’m,praying it’ll be contained 🙏
How do we know these are not the current prison population??? Where is the national guard????
At the border.
This worked out well for us in Oregon.🤦🏻♂️
