AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require the Secretaries of Agriculture and the Interior, acting jointly, to set up a pilot program within 1 year to test and deploy new wildfire technologies. These include tools for preventing, detecting, communicating about, responding to, and reducing wildfires, such as remote sensing, dispatch communications, safety equipment, and home hardening. Private companies, nonprofits, and colleges could apply to take part and would be paired with federal, state, Tribal, or local agencies to test technology during wildfire mitigation work and training. The Secretaries would set criteria for judging technologies and report to Congress each year. The program would end 7 years after the bill becomes law.
