flag The U.S. created the U.S. Wildland Fire Service to unify and modernize wildfire response across federal agencies.

flag The U.S. flag Departments of Agriculture and the Interior have launched sweeping reforms to modernize the nation’s wildfire response, creating the U.S. Wildland Fire Service to unify federal efforts, eliminate fragmentation, and improve efficiency. flag The plan, driven by Executive Order 14308, focuses on modernizing aviation and coordination systems, establishing a joint firefighting aircraft service, consolidating predictive analytics into a national intelligence capability, and strengthening partnerships with state, tribal, and local governments. flag It also aims to streamline training, standardize pay for federal and tribal firefighters, update protective equipment, integrate pre- and post-fire activities, and enhance research and technology investments. flag The reforms seek to better protect communities, preserve forests and rangelands, and boost national security and economic resilience, with success dependent on continued congressional support for funding and authority.
