 That’s Not Fair - Kim Kardashian Says Prisoners Who Fought L.A. Wildfires Were Paid 'Just a Few Dollars,' and She Wants to Change That A renewed push for prison labor reform is gaining attention, with Kim Kardashian stepping in to support new legislation aimed at changing how incarcerated workers are paid. The bill, reintroduced on March 19 by Cory Booker, seeks to ensure that people working while incarcerated receive at least the federal minimum wage. It also proposes limits on deductions for fees, fines, and living costs within correctional facilities, through amendments to the Fair Labor Standards Act. Kardashian, who has increasingly focused on criminal justice reform, explained that her support is rooted in what she witnessed during the Los Angeles wildfires.  “I personally watched incarcerated people who risked their lives battling the massive wildfires,” she said, pointing out that many were paid only a few dollars a day despite doing the same high-risk work as profess...

5 hurt and high school evacuated after Colorado grass fire spreads

 Four firefighters and one civilian were injured Wednesday after a fast-moving grass fire broke out in Thornton, Colorado, forcing the evacuation of a nearby high school and temporarily closing a major highway near Denver.
The blaze began around 11:30 a.m. near Huron Street and 84th Avenue during red-flag conditions, with high winds and extremely dry weather fueling its rapid spread. About 150 firefighters from regional departments responded to the fire, which threatened homes, businesses, and Pinnacle Charter High School, located just feet from the flames. The fire ultimately burned roughly 10 acres before being contained by 2:30 p.m.
Thornton Fire Chief Stephen Kelley said no homes were destroyed, though several businesses were affected, with at least some vehicles in parking areas damaged. All five injuries were reported as non-critical. Students at the high school were evacuated safely and are expected to return on Thursday, and residents in a nearby neighborhood were temporarily sheltered at a local recreation center.
The blaze also forced the temporary closure of Interstate 25 as crews battled smoke and flames. Firefighters continued working on hotspots into the evening to prevent rekindling. Chief Kelley praised the community for quickly responding to evacuation orders, allowing fire crews to access and contain the fire effectively.
The area remains under a Red Flag Fire Warning from the National Weather Service, with sustained winds of 25–35 mph and gusts up to 55 mph contributing to extreme fire conditions across the Denver metro region. Authorities continue to investigate the cause of the fire.
