Trying to help another Medic

[Richard B the EMT]

Several states also train inmates as FFs especially in areas prone to large fires such as California. I just hope these programs are very upfront with the prisoners that obtaining a paid professional job in health care or fire fighting after their release might be very unrealistic in some states.

I saw a Public Broadcasting System show on fighting wildfire, and they interviewed some of these Inmate-Fire Fighters. Apparently, they were working under the guidance of a former program member, but all of these ladies seemed enthusiastic that they'd get employed by the Forestry Department as Fire Fighters. Yeah, that's fire fighting under Forestry Service, not EMT or Paramedic.
