With 24 major wildfires burning across the southwestern United States, fire officials need every firefighter they can get. They’ve done that in Oregon, but it’s created another problem.
Officials are now having to lay off some of the bosses who manage those firefighting crews because the bosses are not bilingual. Many of the newer hires in Oregon only speak Spanish.
“What we do know is 85 percent of the crew makeup is of Hispanic descent,” said Jim Walker, with the Oregon Department of Forestry.
Is the Oregon Department of Forestry hiring illegal aliens?
Are fire crews using H-1B workers?
Looks like there is something needing some looking into in Oregon.
