Vast fires in California during winter risk becoming "normal" due to climate change and global warming. The governor of the state ravaged by the flames said this by visiting one of the most affected areas, the county of Ventura. Jerry Brown also warned that "there is a chance to see firemen in action at Christmas" because of the humidity and the strong winds forecast by meteorologists.
The flames that devoured southern California destroyed about 800 houses in a week, killing one person and causing billions of dollars in damage.
Apparently there's a whole load of convict labor being used to help fight the fires. Do you know anything about this? I've read that these dudes are payed $1 an hour -not exactly danger money is it.

Yeah -- It's fully horrible. VICE had a piece on it not too long ago. It's a shame that systems are so broken down there (and not much better up here in Canada I would think). People are being arrested, abused and exploited.
Here's the link to the VICE piece

It is a classic moment when a person like Brown will use these fires as a propaganda tool for one of his pet causes. God forbid that there should be a credible arson investigation, which is probably impossible, given the usual collusion between government and nefarious deeds to bring about a desired outcome.
