The CCC Delta Center is a residential facility where Corpsmembers live and work. Most Corpsmembers live the center’s dormitory buildings. A limited number of Corpsmembers also commute from home each day for work. Schedules vary but crews typically work four 10-hour days Monday through Thursday.

The center is located in Stockton, just a short drive east of Highway 99 near the Stockton Airport. Corpsmembers complete projects throughout the region, in the northern San Joaquin Valley, Sierra Nevada Mountains, and East Bay. Crews may also be dispatched across California, or out-of-state, on emergency assignments.

The Delta Center offers many training opportunities including culinary, trails, veterans fisheries, wildland firefighting, and other natural resources work. The center regularly partners with CAL FIRE, Department of Water Resources, California State Parks, Caltrans, City of Stockton, and the Arnold Rim Trail Association on projects.

Corpsmembers add sandbags in a ring around a boil to prevent a levee from eroding.

Delta fire crews hike past Pardee Reservoir during their annual readiness drill. They must be able to hike three miles in 45 minutes to pass this portion of the drill and get dispatched to fires statewide.
