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

CalFire (formerly CDF) and LA Co. FD inmate crews are used throughout the year for a variety of tasks from direct wildfire suppression such as building line to indirect fire suppression by way of fuel reduction projects to direct flood/slide/debris flow suppression like sandbagging to indirect suppression of same by way of clearing culverts and building erosion-control structures to  disaster cleanup projects following fires, floods, earthquakes, etc. to even campground and trail maintenance projects.
They are an indispensable asset, one which should be much more numerous and commonplace throughout the nation.... that sort of work is much more "repaying society" than sitting in a prison cell wasting the resources of society while giving back little on rare occasions and more commonly, nothing at all.

I did not know Camp Crews were used in such was. I am Wildland trained (S-130/230 etc) but I'm not a wildfire guy. Grew up in NJ (near Philly) so I'm a structural person. Wildfire in NJ is vastly different from your style.

I'm educated now.
