SCOTT SIMON, HOST:


The Woolsey Fire in Southern California has been contained, but it destroyed almost 1,500 structures across Los Angeles and Ventura counties. And while some residents are beginning to return home, thousands of people had to stay and face the risks of fire and smoke. That includes about 36,000 farmworkers in Ventura County who stayed and worked outside picking strawberries and other produce in the dangerous air from wildfires. Many of them have limited access to proper protection or medical care. Someone who knows the perils 1 of working in the fields is Juvenal Solano. He is a former strawberry picker and now a community organizer with the Mixteco Indigenous 2 Community Organizing Project. He joins us from Oxnard, Calif. Thanks so much for being with us.


JUVENAL SOLANO: Thank you very much for inviting 3 me.


SIMON: What do people who work in the fields picking food for all of us tell you about what it's like to work there now?


SOLANO: When was a lot of smoke, they start to not breathe very well. They start tearing their eyes because of the smoke.


SIMON: Tearing their eyes, yeah.


SOLANO: Yeah. What they said is, what can we do now? We need to stay there because we need money to provide to their families.


SIMON: Yeah. And what happens if they approach a supervisor 4 or a field manager because they say they need help or they shouldn't be working or they're worried?


SOLANO: Well, some of the workers, they don't even ask to their supervisor to go home because they are afraid to lose their jobs
