A Day in the Life: Camarillo Wildland Fire Crews

Camarillo Corpsmember Saira Hernandez, right, watches and listens to fellow Corpsmembers as they prepare to deploy on the front line of the Shoreline Fire in Ventura, CA.

Ever wonder what a day on the job is like for CCC wildland firefighters?

Corpsmembers train, practice skills, work out in the gym, and can even be in the field reducing fire risk by removing overgrown vegetation.

They’re always ready to respond to a wildland fire, especially when there’s a Red Flag Warning. October 25, 2019 was just such a day.
