Latest action on S. 91: Committee on Energy and Natural Resources. Ordered to be reported with an amendment in the nature of a substitute favorably.

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects people and agencies involved in western wildfires. That includes federal land managers, state and Tribal fire crews, local fire departments, and communities near high-risk federal land. It could also affect people who need disaster aid after a fire, companies that make fire technology, and groups working on invasive species after wildfires.

Why this matters: Wildfires can leave communities facing danger long after the flames are out. Burned hillsides can flood, drinking water areas can be damaged, and invasive plants can spread. This bill tries to give agencies better plans, better information, and more tools before fires grow large. It also tries to make recovery work more regular after fires are contained.

Key provisions in S. 91

• Federal agencies would have to report wildfire spending in more detail each year. This includes large catastrophic wildfires that meet set tests for acres burned, damage, cost, or deaths.
• The Department of Defense would have to make mutual-aid deals with states. These deals would repay states for fighting fires caused by military training or related planned actions.
• The Interior and Agriculture Departments would have to update fire plans for every federal fireshed by September 30, 2026. A fireshed is an area used to plan around wildfire risk. Plans must be updated after fires and at least every 10 years.
• The Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Fire Administration would have to study firefighter training within one year after the bill becomes law. The study would look at gaps and coordination between building firefighters and wildland firefighters in high-risk fire areas.
• Federal land managers would have to move faster on wildfire detection tools. These include sensors, cameras, satellites, and drones. They would also hold a yearly forum with technology companies.
