and again, at least in my area, all the city, county, "municipal" agencies are hiring. Full time, full benefits: why not move on ?

The US needs a couple of things, a properly networked and supported volunteer brigade like the RFS in Australia, better pay for professionals and to allow inmates to become professionals if they do it while imprisoned.

Yes. Guarantee inmates fire fighting jobs if they make it through training and work for a while while incarcerated. In urban areas, it's not a half-bad living. More training more guaranteed jobs will really help w recidivism

Re health benefits: the health risks for firefighters, who spend multiple months per year breathing in highly polluted air, are significant. These people, of all people, need proper long-term health care benefits.

Are they serious about hiring people? I tried to volunteer as a wildland firefighter (online, and through my local fire department) and just never heard back.
