California National Guardsmen (right) with Joint Task Force Rattlesnake, Fresno Unit, walk side-by-side with California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (DEPCOR) firefighting inmates (in orange) May 12, 2021, following a California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) safety briefing at the Millerton training site in Friant, California. Cal Guardsmen and inmates similarly train to battle wildfires, as CAL FIRE successfully has run an inmate firefighting program for decades and Cal Guard initiated its Joint Task Force Rattlesnake operations in 2019. Both entities carry the same tools, eat the same food, and are guided by the same CAL FIRE firefighting protocols. Like the Rattlesnake crews, the inmates underwent an assessment to be certified as Type II Initial Attack fire crews. (U.S. Army National Guard photo by Staff Sgt. Eddie Siguenza)
