PARADISE, Calif. -- (KTLA) -- One picture showed a dead cat with a beer bottle in its mouth.
In another, a man is jumping through a burned trampoline.
And then there's the one where two men pretend to go for a drive in the charred remains of a motor home.
The photos are among several taken by employees of a crane rental and sales company who were working at sites ravaged by the Camp Fire. California-based Bigge Crane and Rigging Co. said Saturday it has terminated three employees after the offensive photos surfaced on Facebook.
The Camp Fire began November 8 and burned through more than 153,000 acres in Butte County, killing at least 86 people and destroying nearly 14,000 structures. It was contained November 25 after becoming the deadliest and most destructive wildfire in California history.
The Town of Paradise posted the photos Saturday saying it was “unacceptable and reprehensible behavior.”
“Town leadership has contacted this subject's employer and he will no longer be working in our Town. The Paradise Police Department is looking into criminal charges. #NotInMyTown #ParadiseStrong #RidgeRecovers,” the post read.
The Paradise Police Department did not respond to CNN's request for comment.
