INMATE FIRE SUPPRESSION CAMPS

According to this legal document (on page 8):
If staffing adjustments and/or camp closures become a necessity, either party (LAC Fire Department or the CDCR) shall notify the other in writing 60-days prior to the effective date of the change and the CDCR shall reduce the camp inmate population accordingly....
Additionally, according to this document Fire Camp 8 was not identified to house inmates.
  1. Fire Camp #11 (Acton) houses 80 inmates
  2. Fire Camp #13 (Malibu) houses 100 inmates
  3. Fire Camp #4 (Francisquito) houses 80 inmates
  4. Fire Camp #16 (Mt. Gleason) was the camp that burned, it held 100 inmates
  5. Fire Camp #19 (Julius Klein) houses 120 inmates
The fact that Camp #8 (our neighborhood camp) was not designated to house inmates may work in our favor.

There are two types of inmate fire camps. The first is a LEVEL I camp "without a secure perimeter" housing, and the other is LEVEL II "with secure perimeter fences and armed coverage."

  1. Thank you for creating L.A. County Fire Camp 8 blog. The information you provided is excellent; however, I would like to make a correction to your header. We were told the Camp will house felons but they are non-violent offenders not to say that it makes it better, I too am totally opposed the the facility. Just want to make certain that the information we disseminate is 100% accurate so the officials who are trying to ram this down our throats don't have any misinformation to point to. Once again that you for starting the Blog. It's excellent.
