And he could have driven it away as soon as he noticed the smoke, car would most likely have been just fine. I really don't like this style of reporting, video starts out with self-aggrandizing statements, everything is dramatized, and then the moron actually *starts* a wildfire by parking his exhaust over dry brush, then just keeps on filming to make his point.

I worked on the fires in 2016 in Orange, Homboldt, and Trinity national Forrest. The CDCR guys are the most respected, nice and humble workers out there. It’s sucks bc we were told not to communicate with them in any shape or fashion. Not even simple gestures as hello or waiving. But they worked hard and were always humble. That’s all I got.

This Sylmar fire was from November 2008. Seventy mph Santa Anna winds. After 12 years the problem has only grown exponentially worse. They should consider early parole for teams like this altogether, as a unit. Halfway house room and board and employ them together fire fighting. Rehab not just slavery.

They aren’t paided, or even able to get a job after prison as a fire fighter as you can’t if you are a felon

Many years ago, I fought fire with inmates like this. As a non-inmate firefighter, we were forbidden from even talking to the inmates. They do the very hardest jobs to fight wildfires. We all train to know how to do it but city and county firefighters rarely actually do that hard work. We make a good bit of money for our time fighting the same fire in which these brave inmates get paid only $1 a day to face the toughest work in the most dangerous conditions the fire has to offer. They say that slavery has ended in this country but it remains, at least in part, when incarcerated individuals make pennies compared to the rest of us doing easier work on the same job and, in some states, they are required to work without making anything at all. I don't think any crime justifies someone having to work for nothing or next to nothing. They ought to make at least the minimum wage and they should make both for the hours they fight fire and for the hours they train to be competent and fit enough to do so. We may not be able to tell the inmates but the rest of the firefighters all have a deep respect for them and the hard work that they do to help us put out the fire. I'm really glad you were able to facilitate this meeting between this inmate crew and the owner of one of the houses they saved because it's a rare event when someone who has been an inmate is treated like a person, let alone the heroes that these firefighters are. If we want people to be able to come out of jail or prison and succeed, we, as a society, have to be willing to give them a chance and I say this as someone who has never gotten more than a speeding ticket.

Probably the majority. What other job can a felon get that is as good as wildland firefighter?

I applaud those men....You have more than paid your dues to society. It takes a certain gut to battle a wildfire of this magnitude. Yet society condemns you.

All these forrest fires must be putting an immense amount of water vapour into the atmosphere, lucky we haven't got the technology to manipulate the weather or some people might think these fires are being started on purpose to cause intentional flooding at desired locations.

This piece should have been titled: "Firefighting with the Honor Crew".

Sprinkler systems, safety distance housing must be implemented, there has to be awareness and structural changes in all people living in that area, people have to invest in care no matter the cost. Prayers for these people, no matter where you live, there is always some earthly element.

god is the biggest judge n mankind thats done wrong that willing to give back n change there ways is very good for them!

sweet hugh was very nice of them to give back this way just hope no one comes back and robs the places they saved lol, california folks do need to spend more time cleaning and preparing for these things these days, i have a 50 foot clean zone all around my property , its not sanitized by no means but if you keep the heavy rain driven brush down it s much harder to start green vegetation if not so compacted as in this video

There are beutiful little butterflies in every person. It is possible to change heart and it is possible to be fruitful citizen even with the a lot of rights are suspended due to the prison rules. Being an inmate doesn't mean the end of a journey to that person.This men and women in prison have atlist one skill better than others. The question is how to explore ans use their skill for common good. This is documentary gives one of the one answers. This fier fighter Inmates had acquired some fighters fighting skill which qualify them to get a decent job in thier local fire brigades when the finish their time and join the community. And I am certain they could do the job as equal as trained fierfighter if not better. Exemplary work boys!

Having a purpose is often what makes people not return.

People building wood homes in fire zones. They could use concrete block and stucco, metal windows, tile or steel roofs, but they favor combustible wood instead; what could go wrong with that thinking?

to prevent homes fires all property should be turned into desert land rocks stones and dirt on at least 200 yards of outside comunity. so manny fires this year but the are on earthquakes falts line . may be gasses escape from the ground

"Wildfires Becoming More Unpredictable" - No, wildfires are becoming more predictable. I predict there will be a wildfire next week.
