flag U.S. flag Senators, led by Catherine Cortez Masto, are demanding the reinstatement of the Women in Wildfire Bootcamps program, eliminated amid federal workforce cuts, citing its proven role in diversifying the wildland firefighting workforce and addressing critical staffing shortages. flag The bipartisan group warns the loss of the low-cost, high-impact program undermines efforts to recruit women and underrepresented groups at a time when the U.S. faces a record-breaking wildfire season, with over 48,000 fires burning more than four million acres in 2025.
