President Biden received a briefing on the federal response to the ongoing wildfire season, which has been one of the most active in the last five years. Nationwide, nearly 37,000 wildfires have burned over 7.3 million acres, affecting more land than some American states. The administration is working with state and local partners to control these fires and protect families and communities. Vice President Kamala Harris emphasized the federal support for local firefighters and the importance of additional resources. Idaho has experienced a severe fire season, prompting Senator Mike Crapo and Senator Jim Risch to call for more active forest management and highlight federal mismanagement issues. Governor Greg Gianforte of Montana has requested a disaster declaration from the USDA to help ranchers recover from the Remington Fire, which devastated agricultural land in Big Horn, Rosebud, and Powder River counties and resulted in significant losses. Oregon wildfires have burned a record-breaking 1.9 million acres, with most fires being human-caused.
