Camp History

Konocti Conservation Camp CC#27 was opened in April 1961. The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) and The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) jointly operate the camp. In addition to five (5) Inmate Fire Crews, Konocti has a CAL FIRE Mobile Fire Kitchen (MKU) that provides meals to the thousands of fire fighters who respond to major fires. Konocti provides inmate cooks to staff the MKU’s. Konocti also repairs and maintains numerous vehicles and equipment through our Mobile Equipment Unit (MEU); tire, welding, and equipment maintenance shops. These services are vital to the fire suppressions missions and both resources have been dispatched this fire season to major campaign fires.

Inmate Programs
