Kim Kardashian calls for higher pay for LA firefighters: They're heroes

Kim Kardashian has expressed her appreciation for firefighters battling the blazes in Los Angeles, calling them "heroes" and demanding a pay raise.

In an Instagram post, Kardashian pointed out that these individuals, who work in dangerous conditions and long hours, are paid just $1 an hour, a figure that has not increased since 1984.

She called on California Governor Gavin Newsom to increase their pay to a level that honors their efforts and sacrifices.

These comments come as fires in Los Angeles have caused extensive damage, with at least 16 deaths and over 200,000 people evacuated.
