Re: [californiadisasters] LA Co: Burn area runoff incident

And occasionally in structure fire overhaul. Anywhere significant "grunt
work" is needed, it's common to call in a crew or two.

Main concept is that as inmates, these folks need to be kept working. Of
course those of us near the fire service know that all firefighters have
duties beyond actual firefighting, that the paid FFs don't just sit around
between calls. But it's all the more important when you're dealing with
inmates who both "owe a debt to society" and need to be kept out of trouble.
