The 44-year-old reality star, who has become a prominent advocate for criminal justice, took to her Instagram story to bring attention to the incarcerated firefighters.

“On all 5 fires in Los Angeles, there are hundreds of incarcerated firefighters, risking their lives to save us,” Kim wrote. “They are on the Palisades fire and Eaton fire in Pasadena working 24 hour shifts. “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.

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.’
