$BAER "The U.S. Department of the Interior also recently issued its fiscal year 2026 budget for the new U.S. Wildland Fire Service (USWFS) which calls for a more than three-fold increase in funding to
$3.70 billion, as well as a Wildfire Suppression Operations Reserve Fund budget of
$2.85 billion, for a total of
$6.55 billion. The Budget request includes
$1.39 billion for Suppression Operations compared to just
$383,657 in each of the last two years."
WOW!
