From the California Conservation Corps
The California Conservation Corps currently has 11 crews — 167 corpsmembers — assisting the U.S. Forest Service and Cal Fire on fires throughout the state. More crews are expected to be dispatched by the end of the week.
Corpsmembers provide initial attack on the firelines and also help with logistical support at the fire camps.
