AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill makes several changes to how federal agencies prepare for, detect, fight, and recover from wildfires. It requires the Interior and Agriculture Departments to report each year on wildfire spending, including cost details for each large wildfire, and to review and update fire management plans for at-risk forest areas by September 30, 2026. It directs the Defense Department to seek agreements to repay state agencies for fighting fires caused by military training. It calls for more wildfire detection equipment, research on drones for firefighting, and studies on drone interference, radio systems, and fire modeling. It also creates permanent post-fire emergency response teams, a long-term burned area rehabilitation account of up to $100 million per year, funding for state disaster-assistance websites, and a prize for technology that manages wildfire-related invasive species.
