Army Col. Robin Hoeflein, center, commander of the California Army National Guard’s 115th Regional Support Group, listens to a California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) official as other Cal Guardsmen observe firefighting inmates perform a “Tool Out,” an inspection process prior to performing a fire mission May 12, 2021 at CAL FIRE’s Millerton training site in Friant, California.
