The states size and land mast is bigger than most countries and it is said if California was a country it would be the 7th largest and with that and the fact the state has so much land it is a major strain on resources.
Most workers who work the fires work the equivalent of a 50 hour workweek of a whole year in 5 months as a seasonal employee compared to a 40 hour a week employee who works the whole year.
The men and women who make up CAL-Fire and the California Department of Fire along with the Inmate Team provide services when needed in the US and even when our teams are supposed to rest in the Winter they often go to Australia to provide training and assistance. Australia also provides training and assistance for over 20 years as well.
