FEMA reaches $1 billion milestone in compensation for victims of New Mexico's largest wildfire.
FEMA has reached a $1 billion milestone in compensation for victims of the Hermits Peak-Calf Canyon Fire, New Mexico's largest wildfire. The fire, caused by botched federal prescribed burns in 2022, received nearly $4 billion in aid from Congress. FEMA recently settled seven lawsuits with law firms representing thousands of claimants, focusing on improving communication and expediting claim processing ahead of the Nov. 14, 2024, application deadline.
