        Yes, and it's a dangerous job in states like California. I read that a lot of the people fighting fires are prisoners, many are women. They don't get paid. Prisoners seem like the new form of slavery.

        Our county is doing similar. They farm out prisoners to a large local company & county (or prison company--not sure) takes the pay the workers earn. They claim it is like OJT, but it doesn't seem right to me.

        I don't mind their picking up trash and tasks like that, but this work is so specialized and dangerous. That changes everything.

        True. I wonder how much training they provide. Probably not as much as regular fire fighters get.

        And that is a tiny little example of the absolute great things our first responders do. Out of goodness. Nothing else. I wish I had 1/10 of their strength and character.
