Senate Bill 1442, which is a key part of the Arizona Healthy Forest Initiative, is a step in the right direction to combat wildfires, says Tiffany Davila of Arizona State Forestry.
Arizonainmates are working to help battle raging wildfires rapidly spreading across the state this week.
The inmates are being used to aid suppression efforts and fuel mitigation, FOX10 Phoenix reported Wednesday, noting that 2021 s wildfire season has been extremely active very early.
Arizona Department of Forestry and Fire Management public affairs officer Tiffany Davila told the station that there had already been two Type 1 incidents and there were 12 hand crews made up of 20 members to help fight them.
Inmates are paid up to $3 an hour for their work, according to AZ Family.
Davila also pointed out that using the inmates helps taxpayers save money and that the price tag for fire suppression can add up to millions of dollars, especially when we have to use large-scale aircraft like the very large airtanker.
