AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill sets federal wildfire policy for land managed by the Department of the Interior and the Forest Service. It would require the agencies to increase the land treated with prescribed (planned) fire by 10 percent each year for 10 years. It would create a program to fund prescribed fire projects, give hazard pay to federal workers doing prescribed fire work, and let outside partners working under federal supervision be treated as federal employees for injury and damage claims. It would also extend forest restoration programs, create programs for replanting after disasters and protecting watersheds on national forests, and, per its table of contents, address home hardening grants, smoke alerts, and firefighter pay and benefits.
