California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation Cuesta Conservation Camp # 24

Cuesta Conservation Camp #24 is a 100-man institution-based firefighting camp located in San Luis Obispo, California. Jointly operated by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) and the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE), the camp's primary mission is to provide incarcerated hand crews to fight fires throughout the state. In addition to firefighting, the camp also undertakes conservation and community service projects year-round. Established in 1962, Cuesta Conservation Camp #24 trains its own incarcerated crew members to become competent firefighters. The camp offers a 67-hour firefighter course where inmates learn to use mechanized power tools and receive training in fire line construction. The camp's crew members also participate in various community service projects, including hazardous vegetation removal, trail maintenance, and fuel break construction. Cuesta Conservation Camp #24 plays a vital role in fire suppression efforts and conservation initiatives in California.Generated from the website
