Kim Kardashian gave a special shout out to incarcerated firefighters who are battling the devastating wildfires spread throughout Southern California.
The TV personality, 44 – who has been slammed as ‘wasteful’ along with other stars for breaking water-saving rules – shared a message on her Instagram stories on Saturday as blazes continue to rage.
The catastrophic infernos – including the Pacific Palisades Fire and Eaton Fire – sparked up earlier this week on Tuesday amid strong winds, with the death toll rising to 16 as of Saturday, per NBC News.
She penned, ‘I have spent the last week watching my city burning. And have seen and spoken to many firefighters who are up all night long using every ounce of their strength to save our community.’
‘Thank you to @calfire la County Fire and Los Angeles City Fire for everything you are doing to save lives, homes and property.’
In another slide, the reality star added, ‘On all 5 fires in Los Angeles, there are hundreds of incarcerated firefighters, risking their lives to save us.’

Kardashian expressed that they are ‘working 24 hour shifts’ on both the Palisades and Eaton Fires.
‘They get paid almost nothing, risk their lives, some have died, to prove to the community that they have changed and are now first responders. I see them as heroes.’
She explained to her followers that incarcerated firefighters have been paid $1 an hour since 1984 ‘to risk their lives.’
‘It has never been raised with inflation,’ Kim pointed out. ‘It’s never been raised when fires got worse and many died.’
‘This year there was an agreement to raise the incarcerated firefighter pay to $5/hour, but it got shot down last minute.’
Kardashian then referenced to California Governor, Gavin Newson, and wrote, ‘I am urging @cagovernor to do what no Governor has done in 4 decades…’
‘And raise the incarcerated firefighter pay to a rate that honors a human being risking their life to save our lives and homes.’
Lastly, the mother-of-four also sent her gratitude to the firefighters who helped save her community which had been threatened by the Kenneth Fire which began on Thursday.
