S. 2015

National Prescribed Fire Act of 2025

Energy and Natural Resources Committee · Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR)

The bill would direct the federal government to significantly increase the use of controlled fires on public lands managed by the Interior Department and Forest Service, particularly in western and southeastern national forests. Over ten years, it would require these agencies to expand prescribed fire operations annually and establish a financial assistance program to help states, tribes, and other partners conduct these fires in priority areas. The measure also aims to support Indigenous cultural burning practices, expand employment and training for prescribed fire workers, and coordinate with the EPA and state agencies to monitor air quality impacts from the increased burning.[AI-Generated]
